Sam Burgess has been ruled out of the Great Britain tour to New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

A 21, Even the 30-year-old suffered a recurrence of a shoulder injury in the NRL semi-final conquer of his club to Canberra Raiders and can be set to undergo surgery. As they prepare to embark on the initial Lions tour for 23 years, the loss of Burgess, that left his Great Britain debut in 2007 within an 18-year-old against the Kiwis, is a major blow for Wayne Bennetts group. Rugby Football League softball manager Kevin Sinfield said on Tuesday:We got it confirmed that Sam Burgess will be from the excursion unfortunately. Its very disappointing. Hes had a continuing issue with his shoulder which will probably require surgery. He is completely gutted, as are we all. We have noticed how special its to all of our players, Sam having been one of those chosen few previously who have worn the shirt and did outstandingly well inside. He is a pioneer and a genuine major role in that dressing room and in the area hes world class so well surely miss him. It will offer someone else with an chance and hopefully they can grab it. The RFL announced a 16-man England squad to the World Cup Nines, together with 11 of them staying for the Lions tour. That squad will be boosted by other NRL-based players and agents from Saturdays Grand Final between St Helens and Salford until its announced on Monday. One of the forward on stand-by is Castleford prop Liam Watts, but Sinfield stated:Theres still a whole great deal to be determined. You would expect a large determined to participate from the Grand Final at the weekend and were going to piece all that together on Sunday morning. Weve a great notion of where were at and Wayne is completely across everything. We have had six selectors hard at work pulling on squads together, it is possibly the most rigorous selection procedure we have ever had. Sinfield confirmed that former Leeds center Kallum Watkins, currently with Gold Coast Titans, was not selected due to a rib injury and a last decision has yet to be created on the fitness of Wigan loose forward Sean OLoughlin, whos predicted to be termed Lions captain. Sinfield claims following belatedly demonstrating his eligibility, Man of Steel Jackson Hastings is. The Salford half-back was born in Australia but, like Warrington stand-off Blake Austin, has an English grandparent and he lodged papers to show his eligibility. Wed have liked to have it all confirmed a tiny bit earlier, especially once you consider how fast Blake had been, Sinfield explained. But we understand where Jackson was at and today hes in contention like everybody else. Its a shame hes missed some of those sessions we conducted through the year however, from my experience of spending a little bit of time with him, hes a quite a social lad who will fit into most dressing rooms Read more: http://www.danisamuels.com/ufc-237-namajunas-vs-andrade-odds/
