Quartet handed England call-ups

Hull KR full-back Shaun Briscoe
Briscoe has scored 10 tries in 22 Super League games this season

Four players from Huddersfield and Hull KR have been added to Tony Smith's England train-on squad for the end-of-season internationals.

Giants hooker Scott Moore and prop Eorl Crabtree as well as Hull KR full-back Shaun Briscoe and winger Peter Fox will join the party on Monday.

The players have been called up by Smith after their clubs were eliminated from the Super League play-offs.

All four players were in the England squad that beat France 66-12 in June.

There are now 18 players in the squad for the international against Wales on 17 October and the Four Nations series involving France, Australia and New Zealand in October and November.
