Joe Cokanasiga admits that even after two years he still "bricks it" every time he trains with England.

The Fijian-born giant has made a thunderous impact since winning his debut against Japan last autumn and was even compared with Jonah Lomu by Sir Clive Woodward after scattering Italy in March.

But despite four caps, two Test tries and a mass of broken tackles, the 21-year-old still enters Eddie Jones' camps with a sense of dread .

"I'm just keeping my fingers crossed now that I make it on to the plane to Japan," he said.

"We want to win the World Cup, that's what England are going there for, and if I make the squad then my aim is to the best winger out there, that's my ambition.

"Striving to be the best is the aim whether I'm playing in the Premiership or internationally."

:: Joe Cokanasiga has joined forces with Maximuscle, the UK's leading sports nutrition brand, to help him become the best in the world.
