England have suffered a major blow ahead of the autumn internationals with the withdrawal of Dewsbury-born forward Sam Burgess.

The South Sydney player, named this week alongside his twin brothers Tom and George in Wayne Bennett’s 24-man squad for the game against France on October 17 and the subsequent Test series against New Zealand, says he needs to undergo shoulder and wrist surgery.

“I’m gutted that I have to withdraw because I love playing for my country,” Burgess said.
