Never seen so many disgruntled Goon fans leaving the stadium that day.
Giving it the big uns in the pubs beforehand only to watch Tomkins have an absolute mare.
What a day.
That game summed up Tomkins as a fullback for me, brilliant with the ball but positionally poor, naive, and shaky both under the high ball and tackling one on one.
He should have moved back to 6 after that game and by now England could have a genuinely decent set of halves.
That game was also notable for a truly world class kicking performance by Sinfield, I would suggest anyone that thinks he is over rated (Cas fans) go watch that game... or any of our GFs for that matter
