Justin Poore considers England switch

Justin Poore has said that he would consider playing for England.

The 27-year-old prop, who recently signed for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, was born in Australia, but would be eligible to represent England as his father is from Southampton.

Poore told the Wakefield Express: "I would play for England. I think it'd be a bit weird but if you're eligible then why not?

"I'd dedicate it to my dad, because to see how proud he was for me to actually come here made me feel good about myself.

"I'd do it, but I basically came here to play good for Wakefield so that stuff I haven't really thought about."

Poore joins Wakefield from Syndey side Parramatta Eels.
