England camp in turmoil before the big kick off

It started last week when England were beaten in a warm up match by minnows Italy 15-14.

Then during the week back rower Gareth Hock was kicked out of the World Cup squad for serious breaches of team discipline, and he wasn't the only to be disciplined, because England's number one prop forward James Graham has been left out of the side for tomorrows game.

And today coach Steve McNamara walked out of the press conference after persistent questioning about the none selection of James Graham as speculation continued over his involvement in the drinking session which led to Hock's removal from the squad.

I'm posting this because it's a fantastic documentary about one of the greatest sportsman on the planet, I don't expect any of you will watch it, but that's your loss.

If your a sports fan you'll love this, it's all about Sam Burgess leading up to making history by playing in a NRL match in the same team as his three brothers, older brother Luke and younger twin brothers Tom and George.

It shows him growing up, what he's done in his career so far, life living in Sydney with his Mum and brothers, the tragedy he went through and how he coped with it, there's also a Hollywood megastar (Sam's boss) talking on him and declaring Burgess his hero.

Sam Burgess is only 24, he's only been in Australia three years, yet the fact Fox have done a documentary on him just shows what a superstar he is over there.

You don't have to be a Rugby League fan to watch this, it's a great sporting documentary, if you've got a spare 45 minutes then check it out if you want to.

Dear god what an absolute choke by England just there

[Black Dagger]

I've never really watched Rugby, but that was great stuff, bar the England choke, bloody losers.

Sonny Bellend was **** all match as well and we still didn't take advantage, what a bloody joke

[Alf]

Absolutely devastated

Full credit to both teams, that was sport of the very highest standard.

Big Sam and Jammer Graham were true Gladiators out there, and didn't deserve to be on the losing side.
