Wigan Warriors Super League star Sam Tomkins is in line for a shock ground breaking one off guest appearance in rugby union for the Barbarians.
Talks are at an advanced stage for Tomkins to play against Australia at Twickenham next week.
An appearance by Tomkins on such a stage would further enhance his reputation as one of the hottest properties in world rugby.
He will be given Wigan's backing - he recently signed a new contract with the Warriors preventing him speaking to union and Australian RL clubs for the next three years.
What do you think? Have your say.

Hope he plays in the halves and not at fullback where he could be exposed to a good kick and chase,again. It's a great idea and I hope he kills em.
I think his mind must have been on this game on Saturday..he never showed up against the Aussie RL team !!
A bad sign, especially as this is only two weeks since Sam Tomkins signed a new contract prohibiting him from speaking to either the Australian RL or Rugby Union..
