Rabbitohs' star Sam Burgess has been named to captain England for the final of the Rugby League World Cup after back rower, Sean O'Loughlin, was ruled out with a calf strain.
Burgess will have the honour of leading England out to their first Grand Final in 22 years as they look to topple overwhelming favourites Australia.
