In a significant shift from his time at Northampton Saints, George Furbank now enjoys life at Harlequins, embracing the vibrant atmosphere of London. After a decade in Franklin's Gardens, Furbank reflects on the challenges and opportunities presented by his new environment, stating, "The big city lights are a change, but a change I'm enjoying."

Furbank has relocated closer to central London, allowing him to reconnect with his partner and old friends while enjoying the city's diverse offerings, from food to coffee.

On the rugby field, Furbank has formed a dynamic partnership with Marcus Smith, creating a formidable twin playmaker axis. Despite a rocky start—Harlequins suffering a 48-0 defeat to Gloucester during Furbank's debut—the duo has since showcased their attacking prowess.

In a narrow loss to Sale, Furbank's contributions were notable:

• Set up a try for hooker Sam Riley with a long pass.
• Assisted Smith with a quick delivery for a try.
• Collaborated in a blindside attack for another score.

Although the match ended 28-24 in favor of Sale, Furbank and Smith's synergy shone through in their subsequent Challenge Cup victory over Vannes.

Furbank praised Smith, describing him as a "one-of-a-kind player" and emphasizing the importance of understanding Smith's playstyle to maximize their effectiveness together. "The things he can do on a rugby pitch - I don't think many others can do," Furbank noted, highlighting the unique threat Smith poses on the field.
