JAMES Haskell helped England Saxons to the Churchill Cup final then said: I want to go to the World Cup.
The Wasps back row put in an immense defensive performance to help Saxons to an 18-3 win over Scotland A on Monday to book their place in tomorrow's final against New Zealand Maori.
He said: "The Maori are going to be a very tough side but, like all the boys, I want to win and show what I can do in the hope of getting into the World Cup training squad.
"Ultimately, that's the goal and the light at the end of the tunnel."
Haskell played a key part in a victory that was more demanding than the score suggests. In wet conditions, the game was dominated by forwards and Haskell and co had to work hard to resist a powerful Scottish pack.
Saxons were just 3-0 in front before tries after 39 and 44 minutes gave them breathing space.
Haskell said: "This week it's all been focussed on doing the job in the final. It wasn't pretty, but we came here to do a job and we've now won two out of two which is where we wanted to be."
