Sam Burgess will captain the South Sydney Rabbitohs in this Sunday's Charity Shield match against the Dragons, with Greg Inglis rested from an otherwise strong squad.
Robbie Farah will start at hooker with fellow hooker Damien Cook to come off the bench, with coach Michael Maguire giving his strongest hint yet at how his team will line up in the opening round of the Telstra Premiership season.
