If that's what he wants then good luck to him.
He was one of the names linked with what became the Force at an early stage, too late now.

A very good player Burgs, and by the way did you notice one of the Bath players on the list (Michael Lipman) is another Australian. I think England have a habit of capping players at this level so that they cannot be picked up by other nations. Duncan Bell is another who could play for Wales but got sucked into the English squad with hopes of cracking the first team. I think there is some statistic somewhere which shows the number of players only to receive one cap and England are far ahead of others.
