Leeds Rhinos youngster Luke Briscoe has been called into the England Academy squad for the match against the Australian Institute of Sport at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday December 4 (3:00pm).
Briscoe, younger brother of England and Hull FC winger Tom, has been joined by Rhinos' team-mate James Duckworth as the latest additions to a side which is hoping to build on the success of 2010 Academy squad which secured a 2-0 series victory against the Australian Schoolboys.
"It's great to be able to bring Luke into the squad," said England Academy coach Dave Elliott. "We've been monitoring his progress all year and been in close contacts with his coaches and we're delighted to have him in the mix.
"He's a very enthusiastic player and a great presence around the camp. He's got lots of skill in attack and he's very tough in defence as well and a great talent to add to the squad."
Elliott guided his charges to a 2-0 series win over the Australian Schoolboys last autumn and he's be hoping to see that success continue this year when the AIS arrive at Leigh.
"We're all very excited about getting back into camp and preparing to take on some of the best young players in the world," he said. "We're very excited about this group of players and because they are Under-17 instead of Under-18, it will be interesting to see how they cope with making the step up to the Academy level.
"It's a massive test for our lads and even more so because they'll be playing against lads who are 18 and 19 but we have a lot of belief.
"There's been a feel-good factor in the Academy set-up which started after the series win last year and it's had a domino effect since then. The new players in the squad have really picked up on that and we want to keep the momentum going now and take it into 2012.
"The AIS are a talented outfit. They beat the French Under-17s 40-12 last week and they're playing the French U19s as well before they face us so they will have some match practice before they play us. They'll be a strong and powerful outfit, which is exactly what you'd expect from an Australian team, but we've got plenty of talent at our disposal as well."
