To be competitive in attack you need blokes like this, either on the bench or starting. England know this more than ever after the games they have had in the six nations, you need some who can mix it up and play off the cuff when needed. Hope he gets his chance at this years world cup.
He also had that fantastic flat pass, he had learned in Melbourne to play flat, and also offload in contact, which no other England back could do at that time, he was so talented but kept on getting in his own way! The great pass at 11.07 I have never seen an England back make, brilliant.Great doco thanks Again.
I spent and hour on part 1 & 2. This channel is awesome! C’mon Cipriani. Just stay out of them nightclub. Stay in. See a movie. Play a video game. Anything but get arrested.
Good piece of work :) I do think, though, that it's not really Cipriani's brushes with off-field trouble that has cost him. I think he's got a reputation of being difficult within a team environment. As rugby viewers, we tend to think that teams should be composed of form players, who just slot in. It's almost like Rugby Top Trumps - Cipriani, creativity 10, so easy choice then? Not really. Better to have a group of 23 players who really get on, who understand each other, rather than clique-y groups or having a player who may be technically amazing, but who the others think is a complete tool. I honestly think Sexton is falling into the latter category there too, as an example. I'm not saying Cipriani is a tool, I should add, but people get a reputation and when you've built up what you consider to be a nice team harmony, why rock the boat?
Hey man, love your content! Just a piece of advice; create a more professional logo, it'll make people take you more seriously and then your subscribe count will go up. Even changing the orange background to black would help. Anyway, once again love the content.
Great documentary thank you!! I'm gutted that Jones is taking Ford over Cipriani, at least that's how it looks for now. Also gutted that he's taking Mike Brown over Alex Goode.....don't really understand his choices at all - both of those just seem like no-brainers.
If he kept his hands clean he could be up there with Jonny Wilkinson in terms of legendary status I mean sure he didn't kick the winning drop goal but he's still an amazingly talented player
Dude we get you're pro Cips in some of his controversies (as am I btw) but comments like "I do enjoy diplomacy" aren't needed. Let the audience decide for themselves what to think. - Having said all that, this is a great doc. Keep it up!
Unfortunately I can't imagine that Eddie Jones will pick Cipriani. After all, we are talking about the man who has constantly ignored the best fullback England has, winner of the 2019 European player of the season Alex Goode. Unfortunately for England with won't be seeing either of these mercurial talents at the World Cup. On the bright side for me, at least it means Gloucester get to enjoy Danny's exceptional talents.
He also had that fantastic flat pass, he had learned in Melbourne to play flat, and also offload in contact, which no other England back could do at that time, he was so talented but kept on getting in his own way!

He got hit by the bus in Leeds not Manchester. I know because I remember walking past it when the paramedics were still tending to him (obviously didn't know who it was at the time). Anyway great documentary! I think since his second season at Sale Cipriani has been crying out for an England recall. Lancaster didn't have the vision to select him and Mike Catt obviously hated him so that was a non starter, but I don't know what Eddie Jones excuse is. He's like no fly half England have got. Ford/Farrell are the same sort of player, so Cipriani should be in the squad as the point of difference. Even picking on current form he should have been in the squad over Ford for almost the past 2 seasons. I think you're right though, with Mitchell now coaching in the England setup it's another Mike Catt situation… can't see him getting in the WRC squad unless injuries happen. Hope I'm wrong, but unfortunately I think Cipriani will end his career without ever having appeared at a World Cup! Insane thought and also a pretty sad waste if his talent.
ive been saying for the past 2 and a half years ford shouldn't even be playing 10, with his skillset someone should have pushed him to 9 and watched as he became the best 9 in the home nations easily, it is too late for this world cup now and no doubt we will have tiny 10 getting bounced by half of the international stage.
Thank you. I'm learning so much from all your videos...been playing for 7 years and I haven't heard of any of this. Never shown any of this....once again. Thank you. An American
Great video. Very watchable. It’s a shame that England struggles to nurture talent. We have the ‘Puritan ‘ work ethic to labour under and the French that they have to reinvent the game every match.
He needs to leave for France because let's be honest here, his face doesn't fit in the England set up. At least he could then make some decent money before he retires.
Love watching this story arc incredible and completely believe that he truly was a Diamond in the ruff would really be interested in a story on Gavin Henson as a similar but also very different story (also being biased as a welsh fan) thanks
This was so good I know it took a lot a work but if u can do it on another player would be so good James o Conner is a good idea but northern hemisphere preferably
