Will Fraser has two goals next season - ensure Saracens don’t end the season empty handed and earn a call up to the England squad.

Flanker Fraser impressed for Sarries last term but his and the London club’s season unravelled in dramatic fashion in May as a shoulder injury forced him out of the Heineken Cup semi final meeting with Toulon and the Aviva Premiership play-off clash with Northampton Saints.

Saracens lost both matches meaning Fraser’s season came to an abrupt end and with the injury worse than first feared the 23-year-old was forced to miss out on England’s tour to South America over the summer.

Fraser is yet to recover fully and will miss the first few matches of the season, including Saracens opening fixture of the season against London Irish as part of the London Double Header at Twickenham.

And while he might not be fighting fit, Fraser is fully focused on his aims for the new season as he bids to ensure it is one never to forget.

“I suppose it was a bit of an anti climax really, you would of liked to at least make the final in either Europe or the Premiership, the plan was for both obviously and it will be again this year,” said Fraser, speaking ahead of the J.P Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s, which kick off on 1st August at Kingsholm with rounds at Franklin’s Gardens and also at Allianz Park and the Final at The Recreation Ground.

“From a personal point of view the timing of the injury wasn’t great, but I picked it up the week before the Toulon game, and I was desperate to play but you can’t do anything about it, you have to take the rough with the smooth.

“I had a good season last year I have a lot of positives I can take from last year and a lot of stuff I can work with as well.

“The injury obviously meant I couldn’t go with England and anybody wants to represent their country. I’ve had good feedback and at the end of the it’s all on me, when I get back fit and back playing.

“It’s nice in a way it’s all on my own shoulders, I have massive aspirations to play for England again and I’ll do anything I can to fulfil them.

“I won’t ever know if I would have gone to South America at some stage, because obviously I got injured beforehand but I got a text from Graham Rowntree saying to stay in touch get back fit and see what happens.”

Fraser’s injury means he won’t feature in this season’s J.P. Morgan Asset Management Premiership Rugby 7s series having helped Saracens to the series final last year.

But while he won’t be donning the Sarries jersey for a few weeks yet the flanker insists there are plenty of stars in the making for the Allianz Park faithful to look out for when the London clubs come to town on August 3.

“All the clubs involved are out to win it, to get some silverware before the start of the season, puts us in great shape for the rest of the year. It’s a huge tournament and one that all the clubs are gunning for,” he added.

“We have a lot of young guys coming through that hopefully can showcase their talents and it’s a great tournament and one as I say we are definitely going to go and try to win.

“You will see a young lad called Nick Tompkins, he’s a special young player great attitude, he’s not the biggest of players by any means but he punches well above his weight so he will definitely shine.

“You’ve also got Luke Baldwin, scrum half, he’s unbelievably quick, he’s ideal for sevens, and Ben Ransom he’s played for England Under 20s this year, so we have got a lot of guys that are hopefully coming through the sevens and showing us what they’re all about.”

The third leg of J.P Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s will be at Allianz Park, the home of Saracens, on Saturday 3 August.
