Potter admits he is a “long shot” to be named in the squad to face former boss Steve Borthwick and England at Allianz Stadium, having only just been called into the Australia squad for the first time, but says he would relish the chance to return for a Test debut.
“It’d be awesome. I’d love to play that game,” he said.
“First game of the tour, it’s going to be massive. And coming up against England at Twickenham has got to be up there with the number one Test matches to play on the calendar.”
Potter, who was born six months after the release of the first Harry Potter book, has been nicknamed ‘Wizard’ by his new international squad-mates.
“It’s been 26 years of it, so it’s pretty funny, I reckon,” he said.
“And yeah, tip my hat if you think of something original.”
After playing England, Australia’s northern-hemisphere tour continues with matches against Wales (17 November), Scotland (24 November) and Ireland (30 November).
