Warrington Wolves coach and former rugby league star, Sam Burgess, is in a bit of a pickle with his Visa situation, potentially jeopardizing his upcoming trip to Las Vegas with his team.
With rumors swirling about his visa issues, Burgess may find himself benched for the Vegas extravaganza.
Having taken the reins as head coach in 2024, Burgess has lauded the opportunity for English Super League clubs like Warrington and Wigan Warriors to showcase their skills in the glitzy setting of Sin City.
The Vegas lineup includes a quartet of games, including NRL matchups between the New Zealand Warriors and Canberra Raiders, and the Cronulla Sharks taking on the Penrith Panthers.
Additionally, there is a highly anticipated women's Test match between Australia and England.
The Super League grudge match between Warrington and Wigan kicks off the day's festivities, but Burgess's last-minute visa scramble has thrown a spanner in the works.
According to reports from News Corp, Burgess had to make a mad dash to London in an effort to secure approval for his visa for the States-bound trip.
With time running out, Burgess faces an uphill battle to ensure he doesn't miss out on the Vegas escapade with his squad, adding an extra layer of drama to the already high-stakes matchups on the cards.
Will Burgess pull off a miraculous play to make it to the Vegas showdown, or will he be sidelined from the action? Only time will tell in this nail-biting saga.
