Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care says he hopes to break into the international fold and tour with England to New Zealand this summer.

The promising 21-year-old number nine has been touted as a name for England in the future and he is keen to make the step up.

"Obviously I'd love to go on the tour," he told BBC London 94.9.

"But there's a lot of good scrum-halves out there, so I'll just have to wait and see."

Care believes there will be plenty of the club's other up-and-coming players aiming to play for their country's during the summer with wing David Strettle, full-back Mike Brown and prop Mike Ross catching the eye.

"They'll be a lot of our Harlequins boys pushing for places on the (international) tours at the end of the season, and I think if you're playing well as a squad it helps in terms of getting picked for the international sides.

"We're all just really enjoying playing for Quins and enjoying being up there with the big boys."

Harlequins beat Bristol 28-15 to move into the Premiership top four and Care added: "We're the top team in London at the moment, so it's just nice to be up there.

"We want to stay in the top four but then again it's so tight. We're only five points off the top but we're also only a few points off two or three teams coming up behind us."
