Freeman looking to 'kick on' in autumn internationals

Tommy Freeman touches down his fourth try against Saracens
- Published
Wing Tommy Freeman is hoping to cause some "damage" for England in the Autumn Nations Series after scoring four tries in Northampton's win over Saracens.
Friday's 43-31 victory at Franklin's Gardens was unbeaten Northampton's fourth in five Prem games this season and kept them top of the table.
It was their last in the competition until 29 November with the Prem Rugby Cup returning while Freeman and five Saints team-mates are away with England.
Steve Borthwick's side play Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina over four weekends next month at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium.
"We're looking to kick on. We did pretty well in the Six Nations and the lads did unbelievably well on the summer tour to Argentina as well," freeman told BBC Radio Northampton.
"You can really tell this is a close group and hopefully we do some damage this autumn."
Joining them in the squad will be Saracen's teenage wing Noah Caluori, who trained with England after scoring five tries for his club against Sale recently, but failed to add to his tally at Northampton.
"Noah's an unbelievable athlete, we saw glimpses of it in camp, and he does some pretty special stuff," added Freeman.
"We knew he was going to bring an aerial threat we had to contain and I think we did a pretty good job of that."

Freeman described the game against Sarries as "a lot of fun" and he now has 64 tries in 102 appearances for the club.
"That's when we're in our stride, when we get fast ball, and can stay on top of teams like that. We knew Sarries would target our breakdown, try and slow our ball up," the 24 year-old added.
"There were a few lapses in concentration, discipline, (and we) probably let them back in but there was a definite improvement from last week on the discipline side of things, so we'll keep pushing on.
"Playing at home and playing away, it is a big difference and when you are here, you've definitely got the [fans as] 16th man, you can hear them the whole way through."
"The first couple of weeks were pretty rusty from all of us coming back in at different stages, at different times. It was good to all get on the same page and you saw that in the first 20 [minutes] and last 40."
