Full-back Ross Chisholm says Quins are too focused on domestic matters to worry about the fortunes of the club’s England World Cup hopefuls.

Harlequins skipper Chris Robshaw, Nick Easter, Danny Care and Ugo Monye all survived the chop as boss Martin Johnson trimmed five players from his 45-man training squad this week.

The move came after a behind-closed-doors training game at the Stoop last week – and before Saturday’s clash with Wales at Twickenham – as Johnson prepares to name his final 30 for hostilities in New Zealand on August 22.

Quins will bid to win the JP Morgan Premiership Sevens Series title on home turf tonight, with Chisholm – who impressed in the opening round – expected to play a decisive hand.

And the 20-year-old says the players left in Blighty only have eyes for the home front.

“Obviously, the club wants the boys to do well and get their opportunity to go to the World Cup,” he said.

“If they get there then that is awesome, but the guys here are focusing on what they can bring to the party in pre-season.”

Chisholm says that starts with the sevens on Friday night at the Stoop – but not at the expense of the team.

“We want to keep the feel good factor at the club after the Amlin Cup win and the way we can do that is by adding more silverware,” he adds.

“It is a chance to express ourselves and push for a first team shirt.

“It is a case of playing as a team and letting individual performances take care of themselves.”

Chisholm scored three tries in 11 first-team appearances last season, but knows it will be tough to oust Mike Brown at full-back on a regular basis.

“I can play anywhere in the back three. Browney had a fantastic season last year, so it is going to be hard,” he says.

“I hope I can take my chance if it comes.”

Of England’s Quins contingent only Danny Care will feature in Saturday’s sold-out international clash at Twickenham, with the scrum-half named in Johnson’s starting 15.
