He enjoyed a successful tour to North America in the summer of 2001, filling Lawrence Dallaglio's number 8 position and scoring against both Canada and the United States.
Worsley was a member of England's victorious Rugby World Cup squad in 2003, coming on during the pool match against South Africa and starting against both Samoa and Uruguay.

On 1 August 2011 it was announced that Worsley had been cut from England's training squad due to injury and would probably miss the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
