• Forward will pass Johnson's 84 caps in All Blacks Test
• Itoje warns there is too much pressure on players to play

Maro Itoje has admitted he is still striving to emulate Martin Johnson's level of success in an England jersey as he prepares to go past the World Cup‑winning captain on the list of national caps holders on Saturday.

Itoje is tied with Johnson on 84 caps on England's all-time list but will join Lawrence Dallaglio and Rory Underwood in 13th place when he faces the All Blacks at Twickenham.
