Danny Cipriani reveals Wasps exit possible as Top 14 clubs circle

Wasps flyhalf Danny Cipriani has revealed that talks have taken place between his agent and a French club over a move next season as he considers his options for next season.

Cipriani’s future with Wasps is in doubt following the announcement that they have secured All Blacks flyhalf Lima Sopoaga for next season.

Cipriani, speaking to The Guardian, described the potential move to France as “a great opportunity” while reiterating that staying at Wasps remained a possibility.

“There are a couple of options in the Premiership, there’s a chance to stay at Wasps and there’s a great opportunity to go to France,” Cipriani explained. “A French club has talked with my agent but nothing has been decided. I just want to play well for Wasps now.”

The 30 year-old is out of contract at the end of the season having re-joined the Wasps from the Sale Sharks.

Top 14 sides Lyon, Stade Francais and Toulon have all been linked with a move for Cipriani in recent weeks.

‘Right a few wrongs’: Ex-Wales flyer’s message of intent with Crusaders

After you. And yes, that's exactly what Penney should do. Stat!! Unfortunately he has one year left on his contract.


Penney's Super Rugby win record was a low 23% before we signed him on. At the top was Razor at 84%. And true to form, Penney took us from a 7-peat to not even making the play-offs in ONE season. No excuses. LOSER. Thank God his contract is up next year. And hopefully Rangi might wanna throw his hat in for the job.


In the meantime, hopefully we can crack the top 6 this year in spite of Penney!??!

All Blacks player ratings vs Italy | Autumn Nations Series

"exceptional as usual" haha I'll take that to mean he kicked how he 'usually' kicked?


Why was Dmac rated a 6, did he not actually do any better or did he come on at fb or something?

Italians defended well. Luckily the scrums went well for the ABs.

Five changes for the All Blacks, including the return of Sam Cane

You were 'valuing' the players by you saying "they are not greats" though, I was pointing out another reason why they are greats, inside the team I mean (which is more important to selections on the pitch stuff).


Someone like TJ would be bitterly disappointed he didn't play on this end of year tour. He is still good enough to come on in that France game and ensure the team get the victory (with regards to how well Ratima had been playing). At the very least this is a 'sorry you didn't get that chance' offering, he's not here to get token farewell games, he will be playing to try and prove that he should have been on the pitch last week.


The other decision to play your best over the future is really personal though so can agree with your reasoning. Just sharing a slightly different perspective. I'll have to check the ratings and see how they went.

Why England's defence of the realm has crumbled without Felix Jones

Yep even if you're improving on already very good international players every little bit helps if you're at the top of this log jam of 'top 3' sides, if they are elite.

Indeed they were. When they were good they looked like potential world beaters but too many mistakes outweighed the occasional excellent moments. The French were not at the level they were against the ABs

All Blacks player ratings vs Italy | Autumn Nations Series

Ok, BB did NOT deserve a 9.5. I found his performance to be extremely lacklustre, especially considering the platform the forwards were giving him. His kicking was exceptional as usual, but his running rugby has been poor compared to DMac. Would've preferred to see a bit of DMac against Italy here.


Will Jordan only a 7??? He had a wonderful performance.

‘Right a few wrongs’: Ex-Wales flyer’s message of intent with Crusaders

The Crusaders just had a mass exodus of veterans. They need to replace that lost experience, at least until the younguns get up to scratch. Nothing to do with the player pipeline, just NZR letting excellent talent and experience ship off overseas.

‘Right a few wrongs’: Ex-Wales flyer’s message of intent with Crusaders

Well said Johnny McNicoll.It was fantastic having him back this year. His 2 try performance in the win over the Chiefs was a special way to return to his old home ground. I believe the Crusaders will turn things around. Too many good people in and around this team to do otherwise. They will prove those wallowing in negativity wrong.

South Africa player ratings | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.


I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.


Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).


RG was great. What an athlete.


Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.


All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.


But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
