[England] Post-6N/Pre-RWC Player Watch

[Patchey]

Probably better to wait for it to actually happen Patchey.

As for Cips... wellp. So much for project discipline. Mindyou, maybe if he bans Cips from the World Cup as well, maybe the next generation will get the hint. I could leave with Ford/Fazlet/Slade I guess.

I'm confident now mate. You're such a sage that even mild agreement make me feel like it will happen...

 

[LiRFCMatt]

Hearing optimistic reports that Cips may have been under the limit!? But if that's not the case he is a fool, even so, why bother risking anything?

The irony if it was the champagne from his MOTM performance...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

If Cipriani has been done for drink driving then him, Hartley and Tuilagi should all be tied up in a sack and whacked with a stick with no regard for who gets the most hits. He gets his one big break and throws it away by being a complete moron, he won't get another chance if it turns out to be true, that will be his England hopes over.

Where you guys getting this info ?!? Either way I'd just like to point out Sam Burgess' ball presentation was immense on Sunday . Such a good reach back making Stringers job easy

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Front page of The Sun is carrying the story and an image of it was posted on twitter,
Think it's on The Mirror website now too

 

[Maverick1987]

If he has been done this has become very ironic all of a sudden ....

I think the chances of it not being true when 2 papers are reporting it are pretty slim . Even if the Mail and the Sun are complete rags

Even if the Mail and the Sun are complete rags

Without doubt my favourite papers; soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent

If I was Stuart Lancaster I'd be telling JJ to go home don't talk to anyone don't drink don't drive don't hit any taxi drivers . Just bloody behave ! Haha

He'd probably just fall down the stairs or something whilst trying to sidestep the bannister.

Apparently Cipriani's been arrested for drink driving... :mellow:

Confirmed, crashed his Mercedes on Sunday morning- arrested under suspicion:

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-32970302

Think the under suspicion point is important, iirc that means it had to go to blood analysis as either he refused a breath test or it was inconclusive.... having said that no one was hurt so for the police to be there something must have been awry

his offloading was incredible as well

 

[McTallshort]

Half witted

 

[TommiG88]

Stupid cipriani. Didn't really get his big break though as Lancaster is in charge and will next start him. I personally think he's our best 10 at the moment. Cipriani was brilliant in defence at the weekend. Slade as a prospect looks superb but I remember him giving away a few stupid penalties at the break down.

Edit: really disappointed in him and I'm sure he's bloody ashamed of himself.

 

[gaston le gaff]

Cant these guys afford Taxis, his WC could be over before it starts don't think Lancaster abides with this sort of behaviour

No more taxis !!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So that gives Lancaster an easy decision I guess.

Ford, Farrell and Slade.

Reckon he could pick:
1) Marler, Vunipola
2) Youngs, Webber, Dickie/George
3) Cole, Wilson, Brookes
4) Lawes, Attwood
5) Launchbury, Parling
6) Haskell, Wood
7) Robshaw
8) Vunipola, Morgan
9) Youngs, Wigglesworth, Care
10) Ford, Farrell,
12) Barritt, Slade
13) Joesph, Daly/Burrell
11/14) Nowell, Watson, Yarde
15) Brown, Goode

 

[Patchey]

At this point, I just want to know whose next. Haskell gets caught selling roids by the truckload? Alex Goode arrested after streaking through Barnet covered in jam?

Nothing would surprise me. If Lanny wasn't already bald I suspect his hair would have all come out by now.

Joe Marler tripping over a toy snake and landing in a pile of dirty nappies, increasing recovery time on his shoulder?

 

[TommiG88]

What was cipriani doing though? I find it mind boggling. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drinking the night before and thought he would get away with it. If he was bladders then he is the biggest idiot around and has cost himself an England place under Lancaster.
