Paul Hayward the Telegraph chief sports editor seems on a mission to put much of England's defeat to Wales yesterday on the shoulders of Sam Burgess.

Hayward is clearly an idiot. Taking Sam B off finally cost England the game! Prior to that ill discipline from lifetime Union forwards let Wales back in the game. The selections of Sam B and Owen Faz were spot on. Dreadful sport / game.

It's that idiocy that gets printed and then some idiots believe what he's put to print.
This is the anti league bureaucracy that sickens me and makes me anti union.
I'm English through and through until it's union to which I just refuse to support and have little feeling for.

England were winning and incontrol while Sam B was on, now I am not saying that was because of him but he played his part! When he went off it suddenly went down hill, again maybe nothing to do with him being substituted, coincidence!?

Clearly a fool pandering to some of the rfu bigots. Hayward is apparently getting slaughtered on Twitter.

I agree. I think that this media bias against our sport is endemic and has been going on Since RL was formed. I think it's the underlying reason why the likes of me and Whelley warrior dislike Union so much and loose respect for the likes of Andy Farrall et al. They've taken the 30 pieces of Silver to engage in a morally corrupt and inferior sport which accounts for my invective and bitter post for which I make no apologies!!

Jim, I can guarantee there's no one on this site who dislikes rugby union as much as me.
Like your father used to say "if you don't eat all your tea you won't grow to be a big boy".
My old man was like that but it was with rugby union, and like him i detest all that is rugby union.
It sickens me how they get away with what they say but also gripes that the RFL do sweet f4 to protect our sport which is far superior.

The RFL always cock up their branding. They should have trade marked Rugby World Cup when the RL world cup started. The RFU would have been gutted.

They should also have trademarked Superleague as every sport under the sun now has a Superleague.

Well said!

A inferior sport which shows the class system still exits at the top of our society, as shown by the way that certain institutions in the media go overboard in coverage and live in a world of making the public think that everyone in the country is interested or knows all about the game.
