Burgess in Australia Squad

Former NRL Star Tom Burgess Selected for Kangaroo

Tom Burgess, a prop for the English rugby league team and the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL, has been named to the Australian squad for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.

Burgess, who has played 25 games for England, was born in England but has lived in Australia since he was a child. He is eligible to play for both countries under international rugby league rules.

Burgess's Selection Sparks Controversy

Burgess's selection for the Australian squad has sparked some controversy, with some fans and pundits questioning his eligibility to play for the Kangaroos.

However, the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) has defended its decision to select Burgess, saying that he is eligible to play for Australia under the game's international eligibility rules.

Burgess a Valuable Addition to Kangaroos Squad

Burgess is a valuable addition to the Kangaroos squad. He is a powerful ball-carrier and a strong defender, and he will add depth to the team's front row.

The Kangaroos are the favorites to win the Rugby League World Cup, and Burgess's inclusion in the squad will only strengthen their chances of success.
