Croft stunned by England chance
Tom Croft
Croft has been in fine form for Leicester this season
Leicester flanker Tom Croft admits he still finds it difficult to believe he is part of the international set-up.

Croft, 22, was named in Brian Ashton's squad for this year's Six Nations tournament only to miss the games against Wales and Italy through injury.

But he is now fully fit and is on the bench for Saturday's game in France.

"I watched the World Cup semi-final at home, not even contemplating I might be involved a couple of months later with that team," he said.

Every team always guns for England and turns it up that little bit extra

Tom Croft

"When you start playing your dream is to play for England. Hopefully I might get some time on the pitch.

"It's not the easiest place to go and play but I will relish the experience and give it my all when I get there.

"France will be gunning for us. Every team always guns for England and turns it up that little bit extra and France were massively disappointed to lose that semi-final."
