Burgess out of England’s last World Cup game

Date:

Beleaguered England coach Stuart Lancaster on Tuesday dropped controversial rugby league convert Sam Burgess amid mass changes for the side’s last World Cup game against Uruguay.

Burgess, who was Lancaster’s most argued over squad selection when he got the nod ahead of the more battle-hardened Luther Burrell, does not even make the replacements bench.

Four players — Henry Slade, Jack Nowell, Danny Care and Alex Goode — will make their first World Cup starts in Saturday’s game at Manchester.

Chris Robshaw remains captain despite calls for him to be dropped after the calamitous defeat to Australia last Saturday.

Defeats against Wales and Australia meant England became the first World Cup hosts to fail to reach the knockout rounds.
