  EROS 2 (Experience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) conducted a survey of the
SMC between July 1996 and February 2003 in two EROS broad-band colours, V_E and
R_E. The photometric data of 4.2 million stars have been searched for behaviour
typical of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) candidates such as drastic changes in
magnitude. Five objects have been found, four of them being catalogued in the
Simbad database as RAW 21, RAW 233, RAW 476, and [MH95] 431 with confirmed
carbon-rich atmospheres, characteristic of RCB. From the EROS 2 light curve of
RAW 21 and its spectrum reported by Morgan et al. (2003), we confirm that it is
the first RCB to be found in the SMC. The other objects are new RCB candidates
with absolute luminosity and colour close to those found for RCBs in the LMC.
We propose that 2 of them are DY Per-like RCBs.
