Burgess Called Into All Stars Game
05 Feb 2010
Rabbitohs recruit Sam Burgess has been called into the NRL All Stars side for the Rugby League All Stars match being played on the Gold Coast next weekend.
The NRL All Stars dropped the selection shock after losing another English Test forward Gareth Ellis, Rabbitohs giant David Taylor and Canberra’s Alan Tongue.
Burgess, the most talked about English recruit to enter the NRL, will join the squad after playing his first Australian game for the Rabbitohs at the Australian Technology Park Performance Centre at Redfern Oval this Sunday.
Showing the strength of the All Stars line-up, two more Australian Test players, Wests Tigers Robbie Farah and Canberra’s David Shillington, have also been called into the squad to play the Indigenous All Stars next Saturday.
Burgess will come up against team mates Nathan Merritt and Beau Champion who have been selected for the Indigenous All Stars side in the historic match.
Congratulations to Sam Burgess on his selection in the NRL All Stars side.
