I thought he was ... if the lad was knew the rules and broke them then fair do's, but a lot of folks are jumping to his defence, surprisingly.

although we can ignore Matt 'rent-a-quote' Dawson ...

what i read was he was delivering tickets, was there only ten minutes and ashton gave a knee jerk reaction to seeing tabloid photos

yes hes known for going with a tranny, read that yesterday

but with an upcoming match his friends should have collected the tickets not the other way round

I think the biggest crime he's committed has been to force Ashton to pick Balshaw again!

Yes he did - so Cipriani can play for Wasps this weekend and play for a coach that knows how to coach/manage a rugby team.

I read the same too, which all seems a bit unfair.

Summary dismissal without the facts is not really on.

He had to do that, after another loss and his over-reaction last time.

I'll be very intrigued to see how Cipriani gets on filling Wilkinsons shoes.. Cipriani is a fantastic player, but I don't know if putting him in at out-half would be the best idea.. England lack a serious replacement for Robinson, Cipriani could have been that person...

but that seems like accommodating Wilko, when Cipriani should be playing in that position
