Skinstad: Burgess is a negative selection
Ex-South Africa captain Bobby Skinstad believes that picking Sam Burgess to play against Wales is a negative selection by England coach Stuart Lancaster “to counter a Welsh selection”.
Rugby league convert Burgess has been brought in to replace the injured Jonathan Joseph.
Skinstad says Wales coach Warren Gatland will be “wallowing in the excitement” of the selection and that if you change one player to win the entire game for you – “you’ve lost the point”.
