Throw in no trophies, and you're describing 'that' lot from over the hill  |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

The New Zealander inside of Sam is butchering everything. Sam could potentially have scored two trys if it wasn't for the New Zealnders incompetence. As for the skills on show, diabolical just about sums it up.

I wouldn't have watched it if Sam wasn't playing but I'm glad I have. It makes me feel spoiled at the speed, skill and power that we get to watch every week!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The passing and defending in this international is worse than I have ever seen on a thursday night for the championship games. Infact I have seen a higher standard of passing at high school level - I am not even joking.
The number 13 could have given a simple pass to Tomkins and sent him under the sticks! The aussies have blown so many chances and the two tries they got came from awful positioning in defense.
What a terrible sport, I hope Sam understands how poor it is and continues to better himself in RL. If he does want more money I hope he goes to the NRL, his talent would be wasted in RU. It is a shame players like Habana can't play RL as well.

I've watched about 10 minutes so far, Absolutely dreadfull! I've not actually seen sam directly involved yet so can't comment on his performance, But if this doesn't put him off playing union, I don't know what will.

Sam tomkins is one of the only barbarians to come out with any credit up to now. Good on him and he could have had 2 trys with better service.

Based on his performance alone I doubt anybody would be interested anyway. |

Can anyone in Rugby Union pass a ball? Serious question.

With and without the balls he's done everything he could do. |

Great to see him get a try at the end. All that fuss over nothing!

The basic skills on show really are terrible. I would have got slaughtered by my coach at primary school for passing like they do. |

They appear to be as at tackling as they are at passing! |

So now that Sam has played his game of Union, what next.
It didnt help the Barbarians cause, it hasnt helped rugby league but Sam has had his ego massaged.
What happens next ?
Everyone back to their day jobs and pretend this never happened, or the union boys pick the next "trialist".
