Rugby career
Burgess was born in Newcastle, Australia. He played his club rugby with Sydney University Colts and Eastern Suburbs RUFC in Sydney.
He played with the Brumbies from 2003 to 2007, but due to the presence of Wallaby captain George Gregan, he only made two appearances for the team, making his Super 12 debut in 2005.[1] In 2007 he played for the Melbourne Rebels in the now defunct Australian Rugby Championship.
Burgess joined the NSW Waratahs in 2008, and made his first Super 14 appearance off the bench mid-year. Later that year he made his Test debut for the Wallabies against Ireland at the Telstra Dome, Melbourne. A knee injury kept him out of the 2008 Tri Nations Series, but he was selected for the Wallabies end 2008 Spring Tour.[citation needed] He returned to play for the Sydney University rugby club in 2009.[citation needed]
From 2011, Burgess played for Stade Toulousain in the Top 14 championship, France, making his debut in the Heineken Cup match against Gloucester.
He joined the Melbourne Rebels for the start of the 2014 Super Rugby season.[2][3][4]
