Luke Burgess great run almost out-Rokocoko's Joe Rokocoko!
Burgess actually spent four frustrating seasons with the Brumbies as understudy to Gregan, before making the move to Sydney. Less than two months ago Burgess was playing club rugby, seeing as he was third in the pecking order at the Waratahs, behind Brett Sheehan and Josh Valentine.
So when Burgess gets his chance, he has to take it, and take it he almost did when he made this exciting break against the Blues. The flying number nine had a full go at getting around Smokin Joe Rokocoko, and almost pulled it off, but for the experience of Rokocoko who wasn't fooled for long and had the gas to get back and catch the youngster.
A classic moment, on both defence, attack, and in the commentary box.

According to our poll Burgess has the Wallaby jersey. Take the poll yourself here

Fantastic run, step, and most importantly, tackle! Ballsy to take on Smokin Joe too!

i wonder if he should have gone inside instead of outside, just to keep the ball in play?

to be fair phil christphers, their was no support and it was worth a pop as they got a defensive lineout in a great possition compared to where they were before

Amazing run, he has bright hopes for Australia in 2011, along with lote and Tahu ans maybe Lachlen turner, but im not so sure about him.
