He won his first cap as a replacement in the 40-5 victory over Italy in the Six Nations game at Twickenham on 9 March 2003. He then won his second cap in England's 51-15 defeat to Australia on 26 June 2004.

He toured New Zealand with England in summer 2004 before joining the Churchill Cup in Vancouver.
