Do you think Sam Burgess should be selected

In the event of Sam Burgess being given the all clear to play but hasn't played a game since April would you select him in the England team for the International rep games starting on 28th Oct.

It would be an ideal situation if South's were in the position to make the semi's and Sam gets 2-3 games under his belt but this seems very un-likely and I don't know if South's would risk further injury if indeed he was available in the last 2 competition rounds if they can't make the semi-finals.

If the injury was his shoulder I would give him a run, because his fitness level would still be good, but considering it is his ankle I don't think he should be selected. Which would be a shame because he loves rep footy and he himself said he was disappointed with his last efforts and wants to make amends.

YES.......... it is worth the risk

NO.......... it is not worth the risk.

If his Physio says he is ready you have to get back on the bike, he will know you don't rush back those injuries.

Anyway we always have Luke if you guys can get him up to speed.

Luke played real well in a losing team yesterday, he came off the bench about 10 minutes before half time and made 28 solid runs and 22 punishing tackles.
Considering he just got off the plane Luke did extremely well.

But in all honesty if Luke is selected to represent England it only goes to show the lack of player strength they really have.
