LONDON (Reuters) - Bath's newest rugby union convert Sam Burgess firmly handed off questions about his chances of playing for England on Thursday, despite fellow code-switcher Jason Robinson earlier insisting he would play a "massive part" in England's World Cup plans.
"Everyone is talking about England, but personally I just want to make Mike Ford's team here in Bath," Burgess said. "It is going to be hard work and I have to earn the respect of team mates here, and that's what I am going to do with a smile on my face and hard work."
