He has set the standard hasn't he?

It's like his life, he's into the joking scene but also into the serious side of the game. I reckon we're going to have a drink after the game, come what may.

That's my ultimate aim. The better I play, the more pressure it puts on selection. If I can keep performing well with Sale and England, then hopefully it can happen.

Whatever he touches turns to gold. For me, it's a fantastic opportunity to play against him.

I've just got to make sure I don't take it to heart.

That's good motivation to show them what I can do,
