Ruper Guinness meets Australia scrum-half Luke Burgess, one of four options in a tense selection week for coach Robbie Deans, for rugbyheaven.
"With four halfbacks vying for a possible three berths on the Wallabies' grand slam tour, Luke Burgess has promised to ''rip in'' at simulated match sessions during next week's training camp in a bid to make sure he has a seat on the plane.
"With the proposed Probables versus Possibles clash scrapped, coach Robbie Deans will instead hold periods of opposed play under a referee's control in the camp that starts on Monday.
"Asked about the prospect, Burgess yesterday said: ''I'll rip in, don't worry about that.'' He also realises such sessions will offer nowhere to hide, saying: ''You just get the opportunity to try and put everything together and assess more accurately how you are playing. You get a better indication of how your form is.''
