  1. 'I was not a failure in rugby union'

    England v New Zealand (14:30 BST)

    Turn the clock back just over a year and Sam Burgess was preparing for a rugby union World Cup with England.

    A huge fanfare greeted his switch of codes in 2014, but that soon dimmed and shortly after England's limp exit from the tournament, Burgess announced he was heading back to rugby league.

    Any regrets? None at all for Burgess. Click on the play button below to watch an interview with the 27-year-old.

  2. Slammin' Sam returns

    England v New Zealand (14:30 BST)

    Sam Burgess is back in an England rugby league shirt for the first time in three years today.

    With Sean O'Loughlin ruled out because of injury, the South Sydney Rabbitohs forward will captain his country during the Four Nations.

  3. There are plenty of reasons to follow the Four Nations in 2016.

    England have a new head coach and, with a year until the next World Cup, it's a chance for Wayne Bennett to find out how his side match up to the two powerhouses of international rugby league - Australia and New Zealand.

    Some of the best players from Super League and Australia's National Rugby League are looking to shine on the international stage.

    Throw in the prospect of underdogs Scotland hoping to cause an upset against the big boys, and we should be in for a fascinating tournament.

    Oh, and this chap's back as well...
