Fox has won two England caps
|
Hull Kingston Rovers winger Peter Fox says he is ready to face Australia in the Four Nations if called upon, even though he does not expect to play. The 24-year-old missed out against France with coach Tony Smith opting to play Hull FC's Tom Briscoe. Fox told BBC Radio Humberside: "Tom didn't put a foot wrong. I'm not really expecting a call-up but who knows. "I'll train hard this week and I'd love to play against Australia and I'm raring to go if needed." Briscoe, 19, was a late addition to England's 24-man squad after Wigan's Shaun O'Loughlin was forced to withdraw with a broken hand and he took his chance, scoring the last try in a 34-12 win over France at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium. Fox was expected to be Smith's first-choice left winger and may get the nod over Briscoe for the clash against the Green & Golds at the DW Stadium on Saturday. He said: "I was extremely disappointed that I didn't get a shot just to get 80 minutes under my belt but that's just the way it goes but there's still a few games left so I'm keeping my fingers crossed."
