I await the recall of Slammin' Sam with bated breath

Have you not read the article?
It wasn't Sam's fault. He added something.
It wasn't the coaches fault either.

It was an ego issue that caused us to be rubbish

Not sure if you're saying that tongue in cheek.. being facetious but if there was an ego, attitude problem within the squad it was most likely caused by the bizarre last minute change of selection policy.. even then.. that's something experienced coaches should be able to quell and turnaround. Lancaster is supposedly a very good coach but his lack of experience being the head honcho probably caught up with in in the 6 months before the WC

He's referring to an interview with Burgess where he blamed both England's and his own failures on other people's egos.

Indeed, definitely tongue in cheek.

Here's the article

People are pointing the finger at Hask but he and Tinds know who Slammin Sam is referring to but won't say..

I think I know.. and he was the one that came out with the remark straight after the game in the dressing room.. "well there's our match bonuses gone"

I genuinely don't know who that is, and Google isn't helping me...

I don't know for sure but it would fit his character.. plus he was a senior player.. but I'm not going to name him.. but Hask and tinds won't name him as he's still involved in rugby as a coach
