SAINTS' World Club Challenge opponents South Sydney will have a familiar face cheering them from the Langtree Park stands.

NRL Grand Final hero Sam Burgess has confirmed that he will be cheering his former teammates, including his brothers George and Tom, on Sunday night.

Burgess, who played the entire Grand Final with a broken cheekbone and eye-socket, has already visited the Bunnies in training.

The code switcher plays for Bath tomorrow but - all being well - he expects to head north on Sunday.
