SCOTT TAYLOR said yesterday that he is hoping to get the chance to rub shoulders with some of his heroes in the Denver Broncos team after earning a late call-up for England’s trip to Colorado.

The 27-year-old Hull prop earned a recall to the England squad for next Saturday’s ground-breaking game against New Zealand as a replacement for South Sydney’s George Burgess, who pulled out with a quad injury.

Taylor joined his Hull teammate Jake Connor and the eight-strong contingent from Wigan and St Helens on the flight from Manchester yesterday and spoke of his excitement at the prospect of running out at Denver’s Mile High Stadium.
