Danny Cipriani has revealed that he is keen on forcing his way into the England squad in time for the 2015 World Cup.
The 24-year-old has not represented the national team since November 2008 when former coach Martin Johnson decided to cast him into the international wilderness.
However, the current Melbourne Rebels fly-half believes that he is capable of impressing the new coach.
"I have a long-term goal to be in the squad and become first choice 10 for 2015," said Cipriani. "Watching England makes me keen to play for them every time. It's always my dream and my goal.
"I truly believe I'm in a place where I can do that if I focus on my game. In the short term I want to play well this season, hopefully to be that 'exceptional' case whereby England will pick someone playing overseas."
Cipriani has made seven appearances for England.
