SYDNEY<\/span> Feb 26 (Reuters) – Danny Cipriani is hoping his
\nperformances with the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby this
\nseason will earn him a return to the international stage, the
\nformer England flyhalf said on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Cipriani was exiled from the England team under former
\nmanager Martin Johnson after winning seven caps for his country
\nin 2008 and he moved to Melbourne aiming for a fresh start last
\nseason.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old’s fondness for nightlife, which many
\nconsidered to be a contributary factor to his continued absence
\nfrom the international stage, also got him into trouble in
\nAustralia, however.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Having been fined for a nightclub incident and excluded by
\nthe Rebels for a month for breaches of curfews last year,
\nCipriani said he was going to be guided by the team ethic on and
\noff the field this season.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve got extra motivation this year to make sure I get in
\nthe England side and to really improve on my performances from
\nlast year,” he told reporters in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m not going to change too much. Mistakes happen and stuff
\ngets glamorised in the press.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“As journalists, it’s their job. I don’t hold any grudges
\nbecause it’s their job. But when you know the truth of the
\nsituation and the club and your friends do, then it’s not so
\nbad.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“This year, we’ve got a very tight group. There’s a lot of
\nthings we’re going to do and we’re going to do them together.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“When we go off-field, we’re going to make sure it’s all as
\na team.”
