Sam Burgess spoke for the first time today about the criticism that has come his way from ex England centre Will Carling, as well as discussing how it feels to be in the World Cup squad so soon after making the transition to union.

As you know by now, we are hilarious, and you should be following us on Facebook and Twitter. 
I have absolutely nothing against Burgess as a player or a man. He comes across as a thoroughly professional,immensely talented yet humble sportsman. I genuinely hope, and believe he will succeed In the Union game, all be it as a back rower rather than a centre.
For the upcoming tournament he is the wrong choice. Whoever sanctioned his selection after such a slender amount of experience in the xv man code has made a massive error. From his slightly cryptic comments in this video it could even be interpreted that he Burgess himself expects to spend little to no time at all actually on the field of play.
Baffling.
The views of Russell Crowe are completely irrelevant too.

This team will be world beaters, Sad that Stuert Lancaster and the English rugby pundits are anti talent. What are they thinking. If loyalty can promote rugby in England by getting knocked out in the quarters, with the stupid england team. Imagine winning the rugby world cup with the above squad what it will do to rugby in England. More people will start to play. More viwership. More money. Stuart Lancaster and the stupid England rugby pundits are not only anti talent they are anti rugby. Clive Woodward is the only sane rugby pundit in england. no wonder he won a rugby world cup
