Rugby's fab four

It was an historic moment for four brothers from West Yorkshire today.

They were ALL on the winning side of a top-flight rugby match in Australia today.

All four Burgess brothers honed their talent as juniors with Dewsbury Moor ARLFC - friend and former teammate Peter Robinson speaks of his pride at watching all four make history by playing on the same NRL side earlier today.

England rugby league head coach Steve McNamara coached four brothers who played together in Australia today.

He coached Sam, George and Tom Burgess when he was in charge at Bradford, and he hasn't ruled out all four Burgess brothers being selected for England at the World Cup later this year.

The four brothers who played in a top-flight rugby match alongside each other in Australia have strong roots in West Yorkshire.

Luke Burgess, who played most of his English career for Leeds, faced Sam and Thomas in separate matches when the pair played for Bradford. Three of the four brothers have played together at various stages but never have the quartet taken to the field together at any level.

Their team won in Australia today.

Four brothers became the first quartet of siblings to play top-flight rugby alongside each other when they took to the field in Australia today.

Luke, George, Tom and Sam Burgess, from Dewsbury, were named in the South Sydney squad to play Wests Tigers at Allianz Stadium.

And what's more - their team, South Sydney Rabbitohs, left the stadium victorious, with a 32-18 victory.
