No playboys here Rebels tell Cipriani

[TRF_Cymro]

Melbourne Rebels chiefs have told imported fly-half Danny Cipriani to tone down his playboy image as the new franchise aims to build team spirit.

The media-friendly Englishman, who is as famous for his celebrity romances as his exploits on the field, has been warned that there is no room in his Australian team for the kind of antics that went on while he was at Wasps.

"One of our pledges is 'We are not me', let's put the team first and that's hard when you've got someone with a profile like Danny," Rebels boss and former Wallabies coach Rod Macqueen told the Daily Mail

Wonder before how long he is shipped away.

Cipriani is more of a Razzle sort anyway. That or "Transexuals monthly"...

 

[gingergenius]

i see he's picked up the local hairstyle.

 

[Teh Mite]

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get his face covered in Maori tats before long.

 

[Hulk Hogan]

He'll be a bigger dud than AJ Gilbert.

It is a competition were players go once their international careers are over and they're after a quick buck before retirement...

Pure gold!
"So, who do we want as vice captain? If our main man goes down injured, who's going to lead our troops from the front? Inspire them to greatness?
Who's that divisive obnoxious c**t we brought in from England? He'll do..."

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Hahaha we will slag him off in the media and then ... we will give him the vice-captaincy ... absolute chat!

However the Telegraph ... says he's not!

... And there may be trouble ahead ... Thom Evans on holiday with Kelly :lol:
