England suffer injury blow as George Burgess ruled out of New Zealand Test

ENGLAND coach Wayne Bennett’s bid to reunite the Burgess brothers on the international stage was thwarted by injury yesterday.

Front rower George Burgess, who was ignored for the 2017 World Cup following a dip in form, played himself back into Bennett’s 19-man squad for next Saturday’s one-off Test against New Zealand in Denver, Colorado.

He was recalled alongside twin Tom and older brother Sam but was forced to pull out after picking up an injury in South Sydney’s 42-24 win over Parramatta yesterday.
