McGuire admits to NRL ambitions
Danny McGuire
McGuire impressed for GB against New Zealand
Leeds stand-off Danny McGuire says he is interested in playing club rugby in Australia in the future but is in no hurry to leave the Rhinos.

The 23-year-old is currently on tour down under with Great Britain for the Tri-Nations tournament.

"I'm a Leeds lad and I'm happy there. I have a few years left on my contract. When that happens, Australia would definitely be an option," he said.

"But it would have to be right time, right circumstances."

Australia coach Ricky Stuart says he thinks the standard of international rugby would be raised by more British players playing in the NRL.

Of the current touring squad, only Adrian Morley and Brian Carney have played club rugby in Australia.

The Lions went down 18-14 to New Zealand in their opening Tri-Nations game on Saturday, and face Australia in the fourth match of the series in Sydney on Saturday.
