Northampton Saints centre Luther Burrell dismisses England talk

Luther Burrell says that he is concentrating on his form for Northampton Saints rather than being called up by England.

Northampton Saints centre Luther Burrell has played down talks that he could be called up to the England squad for the Autumn Internationals.

The 25-year-old has made an impressive start to the season and has been touted as a potential Red Rose player following injuries to Manu Tuilagi and Brad Barritt.

However, Burrell insists that he is not thinking about representing his country and is solely focused on the task at hand with Northampton.

"To be completely honest, I don't really look at it (England) at all," Burrell told the Northampton Chronicle and Echo. "This is where it counts for me. It's my club rugby.

"I want to be playing consistently for this club. If I get anything after that, it's fantastic. But for me it's all about playing well for Northampton Saints at the moment."

Burrell was part of England's tour of South America during the summer.
