Danny Cipriani turns over another new leaf?

So Danny Cipriani finally admits that he has been spoilt and arrogant and that, belatedly, it is time to wake up and smell the coffee.

The fact that Cipriani felt compelled to don this particular hair shirt in an exclusive interview with a national tabloid newspaper, however, tells us all we need to know.

Cipriani still appears to harbour ambitions to play for England in the 2015 World Cup. The reality is, however, that he is currently (at best) England’s 5^th choice no 10 behind Messrs Farrell, Flood, Burns and Myler and no amount of talking to the media is going to change that.

I’d love to be proved wrong but I suspect that Cipriani’s bus has already departed.
