Newly-crowned Man of Steel Sam Tomkins is confident he will be fit for England's internationals against Wales and France despite his recent knee injury.

Leeds prospect Zak Hardaker, who was named young player of the year at the Man of Steel awards, is ready to deputise at full-back but Tomkins believes he will be able to return in time. He added: "I picked up a bang in the Catalan game and couldn't get it quite right for the Leeds game, which was a shame. "But we've got a few weeks before the internationals so hopefully it will be right."
