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

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.

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

He was the main man of the Lions tour.

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

They were off-the-cuff remarks that have been blown out of all proportion. The crowd was on my back in that game and giving me stick. That was all. There's no need for England fans to take it the wrong way. They've been fantastic.

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.
