Voyce has left defenders trailing in his wake all season

In-form Wasps wing Tom Voyce hopes a match-winning display in Sunday's Heineken Cup final will propel him into England's Test team next month.

Voyce, who won his only cap against the United States three years ago, faces Toulouse after being named in the squad for the New Zealand and Australia tour.

"I would love to add to that cap and hopefully there is a chance," he said.

"Clive looks for players that can play in big matches and hopefully if I play well in this it will help my cause."

After scoring 13 tries in the regular Premiership season, Voyce confirmed his tour spot with a scintillating double in Wasps' 57-20 semi-final play-off rout of Northampton.

With his ability to play wing or full-back, he is likely to make at least the bench for the two Tests against the All Blacks and a third against the Wallabies.

But Voyce insists he will put aside such thoughts for the next fortnight, with a Zurich Premiership final against his old side Bath to follow Sunday's European final.

"At Wasps we have found ourselves in a terrific situation and we want to capitalise on that," he said.

I had to change my physique to get stronger and more powerful Tom Voyce

"A European final is massive in anyone's career and I don't want to look back and think I didn't grasp the opportunity because I was thinking about other things."

The Cornishman burst onto the scene as a 20-year-old in 2001, scoring 13 tries for Bath in the second half of the season to win a place, and cap, on England's North American trip.

But the next two years he suffered along with his club, as one of the giants of the English game flirted with relegation up to the final day of last season.

"I learnt a lot from that," Voyce reflected. "It prepared me for how to take defeat and get out of bed and fight the next week.

"But I didn't understand at that time what I needed to do to take my game on.

"I was depending too much on my talent to get me through, but I had to change my physique to get stronger and more powerful."

Can Wasps join the elite?

At Wasps he has put on six kilos, and worked hard on his speed off the mark with fitness coach Craig White.

The benefits are obvious. Voyce spent the autumn at full-back with Mark van Gisbergen playing stand-off in place of the injured Alex King.

King's return saw van Gisbergen reclaim the number 15 jersey and Voyce switch to the wing, where the tries have continued to flow in harness with his burgeoning talent.

Voyce's great great uncle, also Tom, won 27 caps in the 1920s, helping England to successive Grand Slams in 1923 and 24.

"He was a legend in his own right," Voyce added. "I am just glad to part of the England set-up and look forward to contributing at some point.

"But I am just concentrating on the next two weeks really. I have to get my head round that first."
