Eye gouging

Burgess faces hearing over alleged gouge

Sunday's match was held up for Kiwis full-back Dallin Watene-Zelezniak to have treatment for an eye injury, shortly after coming into contact on the ground with South Sydney prop Burgess.

The incident, which occurred 20 minutes from the end of England's 20-14 victory, went unpunished by referee Gerard Sutton and Watene-Zelezniak brushed off the clash in his post-match interviews.

However, the Rugby Football League announced on Monday that New Zealand cited the incident and referred Burgess to a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday evening.
