Toby Flood will win his 18th cap for England

Leicester Tigers summer signing Toby Flood has said he is ready to take on the All Blacks.

The versatile 22-year-old will start at fly-half for England's game against New Zealand on Saturday.

"If you want to play international rugby, you have to put yourself up against the best in the world," Flood told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Hopefully I'll give a good account of myself and put the team in the right positions to cause them some problems."

Flood is one of six changes from the side which lost 37-20 in the first Test defeat last weekend.

Flood made his England debut in 2006 and scored England's opening try in their 2008 Six Nations match against Wales, he added another in the following game against Italy.

Flood's appearance on Saturday will be his 18th in an England shirt.
