Sam scored his first Union try in a 9-try thriller as Bath beat Wasps 39-26, and by all accounts Sam was enjoying himself. Good luck to him.

Gone very quiet on this thread.....

You must be mistaken. I don't believe it!

9 trys in a Rugby Union match? Next you will tell me William Eve has fell in love with the game again and is campaigning to bring back licensing.

Sam seems to be happy so it can't be that bad, and when he sees at first hand all the history, tradition and crowds etc that the 6 Nations offers, i wager he'll double his efforts to impress Stuart Lancaster.

Why should Sams success stop people posting on this thread?

Sam Burgess was man of the match and scored a try in just his 5th game and having completed something like 400 minutes of kick n clap, his Rugby League skills are killing it in the inferior game of Rugby Onion.

Of course he's enjoying himself, the fools are paying him a million a season to do 20% of what he normally does on a Rugby field.

He's going to walk into one of the England centre positions, play in the Onion World Cup then go back to playing real Rugby at South Sydney a rich man.

I'd agree with that thanks TA.

Sounds about right.

1 good game against wasps at home and 1 try in 400 minutes = 'killing it'
Sams wages = '£1 million a season'

Good old sc-avenger, always good for a laugh

Well, we'll see won't we?

My bet is that he's in the 6Ns squad at some point and will play in the England World Cup team. A Rugby League player can come in and command a place in the elite team with just a handfull of games under his belt its very embarrassing for Rugby Onion
