England Scrum half Danny Care is hoping that he will regain the England scrum-half berth for Saturday's Six Nations opener against Wales at Twickenham.
The Harlequins star Care endured a frustrating autumn campaign and a dip in form saw him lose his jersey to Paul Hodgson after an unconvincing performance against Australia.
"I started one game in the autumn and was on the bench for two, which was pretty frustrating," Care told the Press Association.
"Every time you go to an England game you want to be starting."
"You want to be up there singing the national anthem and then start playing straight away."
He added: "I'm happy with my form at the moment. Results haven't been going for us (at Harlequins) recently but I'm happy with how I'm playing and if I'm selected I can carry that into the Six Nations.
"You have to play well every game and perform week in week out to get in the squad because whoever's playing the best should play, and hopefully that will be me."
