Gareth Ellis has said that he will take every opportunity to represent England, describing it as "the biggest honour you can get".

The forward, who will return to the Super League next year, had been a doubt for England's Autumn series final against France on Sunday after being reported for a high tackle in the previous match.

The 31-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I've not played that many games this year, I'll take any opportunity to play for England, it's the biggest honour you can get.

"It's been great to be back representing England and playing alongside some of the boys I've not seen for a while."

Ellis was told earlier this week that he will face no further action for the tackle on Cyril Stacul last weekend.
