MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Dual code international Sam Burgess was charged with "intimidation" by police in Australia on the same day he announced his retirement from the National Rugby League (NRL), local media reported on Thursday.

Burgess, 30, was involved in a domestic dispute at the home of his father-in-law at Glenquarry in eastern New South Wales state on Oct. 19, local broadcaster Nine Network reported earlier this month.
