ENGLISH import Sam Burgess got his Australian league career off to a flying start by scoring a try in his debut for South Sydney against Manly in their NRL trial today.
Prop Burgess, who only played the first quarter of the match against a third-string Manly side, reached out to score Souths Sydney's first try of the match in the 11th minute.
Souths were 12-0 down at the time and Burgess' try started a recovery that saw them score 42 unanswered points to win the match 42-12 in front of 5000 fans at the redeveloped Redfern Oval.
Earlier, Burgess had fronted a team medical in Coogee as the NRL team for Saturday's inaugural All Stars match against an indigenous side on the Gold Coast went into camp.
