Danny Cipriani

As plan b's go there isnt much better in our roster.

I haven't seen any of Sale this year but I hear he has been tearing it up, he has the talent and with Flood looking like moving to France and Burns struggling he could get the 3rd EPS spot at FH. Ford also has been good at Bath but he is a very different player. I think Danny needs to keep this form for the season and then he can be considered.

Still pretty young isn't he? Always had that spark when I've seen him. Risks being the English Henson, wasted talent.

Imo , 10 is Englands biggest weakness both Farrell and Flood are weak , would love to see Cipriani given the chance to shine . With a decent 10 England would match the all blacks .

No they wouldn't.

I think it would be better to give young Ford a chance first, but Farrell is in there for the foreseeable.

Currently Owen Farrell, Toby Flood and Freddie Burns are definitely ahead of him in Stuart Lancaster's mind and I strongly suspect that George Ford is also ahead given his selection for the Saxons.

Flood may drop down the list, or out of it when he goes to France, and Burns is having a terrible season at Gloucester, but I think there is little chance of Cipriani eclipsing all of them for an England place. A slot in the Saxons is possible if any of those above him get injured and it will then be for him to prove his worth, though I think the chance of another full England cap is remote, especially with Burns likely to go to Leicester, where he will raise his game around such a strong squad, and at the highest available club level

I'm sure Sarries will have something to say about that after the weekend.

And, as a Saint, it's nice to see the Tiggers struggling - even if it's just a little bit, for a short time.

Sarries have the best pack no doubt, but the backs are $hit and dull.
