ENGLAND winger Jack Nowell has said he would not like to be tackled by Sam Burgess after seeing him play against France at Twickenham last weekend.

The Exeter Cheifs star who grew up in Newlyn said during a Facebook Q&A set up by England Rugby he would avoid the Rugby League convert who has proved a divisive figure in the game since making the switch.

The 22-year-old also said he would not like to be smashed over by Billy Vunipola and his favourite Cornish pasty is a large steak from Aunty May's in his hometown.

Tomorrow, Nowell will start against France in England's second warm-up game before the Rugby World Cup.
