Sale’s Danny Cipriani may go abroad if he is not picked for England

From Robert Kitsons article for The Guardian...

"Danny Cipriani is likely to quit English club rugby for the second time in his career if he is omitted from England’s squad to be announced this month. Sale have given their fly-half a fortnight to decide whether to re-sign with them, and they expect him to relocate to France if he does not feature in England’s Six Nations plans."

Don't blame him at all.
He is probably 4th in line behind Ford, Farrell & Myler right now in England pecking order & Toulon want him.


Although I'd quite like him back at Wasps for next season can't see it happening.

Strange choice of title but a typical one I suppose.

There you go HT how about that????

It's the same story no matter what you call it.

Much better. Actually reflects the story rather than an overdone click-bait headline.

Hardly HT stop stirring there's no need.

Cips is going to quit Sale Sharks if he doesn't get an england call up.

No. That's the overdone media bit. What Diamond actually said (and the bit you should have quoted in the above bit) is that:

1. Cipriani should be in the 6 Nations squad (according to Diamond).
2. His contract is up at the end of the season.
3. If he's not in the squad Diamomd wouldn't be surprised if he left for French.
4. As far as we know this is speculation by Diamond rather than 'threats' and may even be said to encourage Lancaster to pick him (Sale would get more money with EPS players).
Edit: 5. Diamond's give him 2 weeks.

The reason I call it cowpat click-bait is because you're the first to call on it when it's relating to Gatland talking Poopie or a Welsh player. "Read what he actually said..." Etc. but when it's about the English game? There's the misuse of quotation marks, quoting journalists 'interpretation' instead of the player/coach, etc. Time and time again. It's the double standard that does it.

I wonder if Maes will temporarily disappear from these boards again if England beat Wales?

Just saying......

Given the number of potentially libellous statements that he makes I think he may get 'disappeared' before then.
