Quins had 3 players sin binned at the same time but it didn't matter as the game was slow with ball never in play. I really disappointed with the standard of premiership rugby. />
I thought Burgess went well although he did force an offload having expected support to be by his side. He will learn to play less structured if he stays in the centres and will return to the NrL a better and fresh player who enjoys a greater profile, A profile that will hopefully give RL some positive PR. |

Sam Burgess is so good that despite having limited experience in Union and even more limited as a centre he completely eclipsed Jamie Roberts and shut him out of the game. On the other hand Roberts struggled to contain Burgess and needed assistance by way of Wales adjusting their defensive structure to put 2 players on Burgess. />
This is the much lauded Jamie Roberts, one of the best centres in World Rugby Union, veteran of almost 150 Top Tier Club games, 72 Test matches for Wales, 1 Barbarians appearance and 3 X a Lions Rep. COMPLETELY SHUT OUT BY BURGESS!
England were twice 10 points up and still 7 points ahead when Burgess left the field, only morons and bigoted idiots with an agenda would blame Burgess for that loss. |

Why on earth would I wish to tell that to 8 million RWC watchers?
That would be akin to me haranguing the 7 million Eastenders viewers that their choice of TV soap is crap. />
Each to their own, there's no accounting for taste etc etc

We got him back! Welcome home Sam!! I knew it was only a matter of time (& Sam achieving an ambition to play in the RUWC) when I saw his face during his Union debut as explained in OP.

well, many of us said he only went to play in this WC and that he had had assurances he would be in the squad as part of the deal to move.despite being rubbished by many other people it now appears that was correct. />
1 years 'rest' from the rigorous NRL, time in the spotlight worldwide and a bag full of cash to return still with his prime years left.Whatever way you look at it i doubt Sam Burgess regrets his year out.
