Today

Available for over a year

Sam Burgess has left Bath for a return to former club South Sydney Rabbitohs in the Australian National Rugby League. "I’m not sure union really gave him a chance, it’s up for debate that one", said the England Rugby League head coach Steve McNamara. "What I’ll say is it was a fantastic achievement, having never played rugby union in his life, then in the space of twelve months to represent England in a World Cup. That’s a great achievement for anyone," Steve McNamara said.
