“I should be able to see her when we get to Liverpool,” Cleary told 7NEWS after the Kangaroos brilliant victory at Wembley.
“So I’m looking forward to that and hopefully she can come to the games.”
Fowler is out of action for Manchester City as she recovers from an ACL injury but, according to 7NEWS NRL reporter Jelisa Apps, Fowler will watch her City teammates “before hopefully making the mad dash to the second Kangaroos Test” just two hours later.

“It’s unfortunate (the games are on the same night) but I’ll be able to see her so that’s the important thing,” Cleary said.
Cleary also said he was happy to take a backseat on the field in the first Test, and marvelled at the magic of Reece Walsh.
“It’s mad, there’s definitely not many players in the history of the game that can do what he does,” Cleary told 7NEWS.
“He just breaks the game open out of nothing and to play with somebody of that calibre and that X-factor is pretty cool.”
As for England, they now have to quickly regroup.
The 26-6 scoreline might have looked like a flogging but the players believe there were enough green shoots to show they can rescue the series.
“I think we completed at like 60 or 70 per cent which against a class side like the Aussies is not going to be good enough to beat them,” Herbie Farnworth said.
“The boys came out firing but we just didn’t hold the footy well enough.”
