Cross-coder Sam Burgess leaves Bath to return to National Rugby League

Cross-coder Sam Burgess leaves Bath to return to National Rugby League side South Sydney Rabbitohs

Sam Burgess has ended his short rugby union career to return to league action in Australia. 
Burgess, 26, joined union side Bath last December after a glittering career in league with Bradford, Widnes, South Sydney Rabbitohs and England.
He featured for England in the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup last month, but he came under intense scrutiny for his performances, despite the nation's poor displays in the tournament.
The Dewsbury-born star has struggled to adjust with the new code, as he has switched positions, and recent rumours surfaced suggesting Super League champions Leeds Rhinos were trying to tempt him back to league.
Now it has been confirmed he will return to the code in Australia with Russell Crowe's Rabbitohs side, alongside brothers George and Tom.
