England winger Joe Cokanasiga is hoping his fresh perspective can help him force his way into Steve Borthwick's World Cup squad.

Cokanasiga burst onto the international scene five years ago and was part of Eddie Jones' World Cup squad four years ago, but injuries have meant he has picked up just a handful more caps since.
