Sam Burgess: 'There's still plenty more to come'

Sam Burgess aims to "knuckle down and get some hard work done" during the next fortnight to improve his all-round game.

Bath Rugby ace Sam Burgess has admitted that there is still room for improvement, despite his man-of-the-match display against London Irish on Friday night.

The 26-year-old, who was playing as a blindside flanker for just the second time, scored one of five tries for his side in the 43-18 victory at the Recreation Ground.

Burgess was named as the best player on the field after the game, although he insists that he is not worthy of the accolade.

"I was quite surprised actually to get man of the match," he is quoted as saying by ESPN. "I can be a bit hypercritical of myself at times but that's never a bad thing.

"There are a few tactical things I can improve on with the forwards coaches. I've got two weeks to the next game now - knuckle down and get some hard work done."

Bath find themselves just one point off leaders Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership table following last night's triumph.
