Marcus Smith will look to help England from the bench in their opening Six Nations match against Wales at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon, where his girlfriend will likely be cheering him on.
The hosts will be looking to improve on their second-placed finish in the tournament last year, when France pipped them to the crown by just one point. The 26-year-old fly-half performed well at the 2025 Six Nations, coming in fifth for most points scored at 30 as he navigated two positions on the field.
Smith will be hoping for a repeat of England’s previous match-up against Wales in March 2025, where they thrashed their fellow home nation 68-14. He made four out of four conversions in that game.

The Harlequins star will be backed by a very special person in the stands – his girlfriend Beth Dolling. It is not confirmed when the pair first encountered one another, but they have been together since 2019.
The 25-year-old model has appeared in online campaigns for brands such as Harvey Nichols and even tried her hand at singing. Just recently, Dolling shared some stunning snaps to her 40,000 followers on a date – but not with Smith.
Instead, the model took a trip to Pirana – a restaurant in London – with her friend and captioned the post: “Last night’s bestie date.”

In pictures, Dolling can be seen flaunting her stunning figure in a floor-length brown bodycon dress. The backless outfit showed off her athletic figure, and her friend also wore a matching strapless brown dress as they posed for selfies.
Pictures of sushi and various other Asian cuisine were also captured in snaps, as the pair dined in an “exclusive” restaurant specialising in Nikkei (Japanese Peruvian) dishes. Martinis were also shared in the post as Dolling partied the night away while Smith prepares for his Six Nations test.
The rugby star’s partner does enjoy sharing pictures of Smith on her social media, with snaps of them both featuring throughout their relationship. Dolling is often seen celebrating her man on the pitch as she captures numerous photos of them embracing after games.

In one post from November 2025, which shows Smith celebrating after England’s 38-18 win over Fiji, Dolling can be seen cuddling and posing for the camera with her beau.
She wrote: “Love watching you do what you love,” alongside three love heart emojis.
Smith replied with his own love heart emoji on the post as comments flooded in praising the rugby star. One wrote: “And he does it so well, as always.”

Another wrote: “Love at the boy! Played well today! We love King Marcus.” While a third jokingly added: “Punching way above his weight,” alongside laughing face emojis.
With the Six Nations kicking off for England on Saturday, all eyes will turn to Steve Borthwick’s squad as they aim to do one better than last year.
Smith has been named amongst the replacements for the clash.
