England centre Jonathan Joseph has admitted that it would be the "pinnacle of his career" if he were selected to play against New Zealand this weekend.

The 21-year-old, who has been capped three times for his country, has also claimed that it would "be a huge honour" to play against the world champions.

"They've got some great players and I have a huge amount of respect for them. I grew up watching them and it would be the pinnacle of my career to play on Saturday," he told Sky Sports News.

"With the players they have got it would be a huge honour just to be involved. I'm sure the Haka will be special. I've experienced it at Under-21s level but not at Twickenham in front of a packed house of over 80,000 with 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' being sung - that would just be amazing."

England have suffered back-to-back defeats to Australia and South Africa in their autumn Test matches thus far.
