England have beaten all comers over the last three seasons and on Saturday in Auckland will formally seal their status as the best women's rugby team on the planet if they can dethrone hosts New Zealand in the World Cup final.
England coach Simon Middleton's suggestion that playing at home might work against the Black Ferns triggered a swift put-down from Smith, who helped mastermind two men's World Cup triumphs with the All Blacks. Smith has not been above a few mind games himself, however, repeatedly suggesting that England's 30-match winning streak makes them the best team of all time.
"I wanted to teach the girls how to play on top and how to create the skills that only we need because we're the only ones playing that sort of game," he added. Smith is aware, however, that England will be the ultimate test even if the Black Ferns have won all four of their previous World Cup finals against England.
