Re: Sam Burgess Union debut : Thu Jan 01, 2015 9:47 pm
I see the England RU coach is as good as saying Sam Burgess will be in the England RU squad later this year, saying "he is doing really well".Of course, Sam Burgess is one of the best rugby players in the world and, as at the end of the last season, probably the best forward in the world.
But to say he is doing "really well" in his new sport probably says a lot more about his new sport than about Sam Burgess. I have seen all his first team RU games so far (with another to come on Sunday) and it seems to me that what he has been asked to do in all of them put together is probably less than in a quarter of a South Sydney training session.
