But Burgess has legged it at the first bump in the road, 1 year in to a 3 year deal. Quitter.I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled the "family reasons" and personal problems excuse out like the MPs do for resigning.
Oh I agree on that but I can understand why when he's been largely singled out as the main reason for England's worst ever world cup showing.

Has he ? Really ? I don't see that. Most people see Lancaster "building" a side for four years and then tossing it all away in week 2 of the tournament as the problem. And playing with no true 7 at a time when the top sides in the world have 2 or 3.

Harlequins and Gloucester was a great game.
