[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1153152, member: 77204"] I think Tomkins has been quality for a lot longer than given credit, the difference is he played within a well oiled machine and had a pretty defined roll, attack wise I would say he exceeded Brad Barrett but learned a lot of the defensive stuff from him, if you ask of him what Sarries have then he’s quality, it’s also worth noting outside of Liam Williams he’s probably not played with or against too many of the Welsh guys often so it’s a completely different setup which has probably hindered him internationally and deserved the credit for adapting even if it took longer than the Welsh would have liked.
