Brough decision delights McCormack

Huddersfield scrum-half Danny Brough‘s decision to switch allegiances to Scotland has delighted coach Steve McCormack.

Brough, 30, turned his back on England during the week and now hopes to once more represent Scotland at the 2013 World Cup.

McCormack said: “He’s been thinking about that for a while.

“He captained us at the last World Cup and knows exactly what we’re about.

“Any coach, World Cup or club, wants the best players to pick. Danny’s been a great servant to Scotland for near on 10 years. He’s put his hand forward, played exceptionally well and been an ambassador for us on and off the field.

“I’ve kept in touch with Danny for quite a few years now and certainly over the last 12 months and for him to put himself available is fantastic.

“When we start selecting that squad, to have someone like him available is superb for us.”

McCormack will also be casting an eye over Brisbane Broncos half-back Peter Wallace as he prepares for October’s World Cup.
