People are booing Sam because of his repeated attempts to con the officials into giving a penalty, like trapping someones arm and wriggling about, rather than getting on with a quick play the ball and earning a penalty. This dark side to his game sadly overshadows his obvious talent and it is what sticks in most peoples minds.

As for the match itself, I'm glad it was a close run affair as walloping the French again would have gained nothing. It's a pity though that we can't have episode two on this side of the Pennines for some revenge.

It will always continue for as long as England games are played at 'home' grounds. Played a big part in me missing my first England game (in the northern hemisphere) since Wales away a couple of years ago.

I'd never boo any player in an England shirt. I think the idiots that did boo are forgetting that it's only a decade or so since Paul Atcheson was the England Full Back.

He also comes to the LSV to watch some of our games Frank, good mates with Andy Thornley i believe.

I for one will never boo Sam Tompkins just because he is a wigan player makes no odds to me ,he is a great player and just wish these mindless supporters would get pass the fact that he isn't playing for their club ,and as for the Leeds fans booing for the reason he tries to get pens well they only need to look at their own club for doing things underhand
