Sam Burgess

Samuel Burgess (born 14 December 1988) is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the National Rugby League. A Great Britain and England international representative forward, he previously played for Bradford Bulls in the Super League. Burgess has also played rugby union internationally for England. He is one of four rugby league-playing brothers; younger brothers Tom and George are teammates at South Sydney, while older brother Luke plays for Catalans Dragons. During his first spell at South Sydney, Burgess won the 2014 NRL Premiership, the club's first in 43 years, and was named winner of the Clive Churchill Medal for man of the match in the 2014 NRL Grand Final. In late 2014, Burgess switched codes to play rugby union for Bath Rugby. He was called up to the England national rugby union team in August 2015, becoming a dual-code international, and was a member of England's squad for their unsuccessful 2015 Rugby Union World Cup campaign before returning to rugby league for the 2016 NRL season.
