In league, Smith's position of choice is as a left centre and can also play on the wing. Smith is a Tongan international.
Tyrone is the younger brother of Australian Wallaby flanker George Smith, Tyrone himself played his early rugby in the Union code, touring the UK in 2002 with the Australian Schoolboys. Now hailed by some as the 'inside centre the Wallabies have been looking for', we shall see if his raw pace and near faultless ball carrying in the 2008 super 14 can be transferred to the international stage.
Smith has agreed a two year deal with the CA Brumbies in the Super 14 rugby union competition.[1]
Tyrone will take his place with his older brother in the Brumbies line-up, marking an astonishing transition between the two codes.[2][3]
