IT IS nearly 2,000 days since Danny Cipriani last pulled on an England shirt but his status as one of the country’s most recognisable rugby players shows no sign of diminishing soon.
That is largely due to his off-field escapades and high-profile romances which returned to the public sphere with considerable force during an explosive serialisation of his new autobiography, which was released in September.
There’s no shortage of salacious quotes in what is a raw and revealing memoir written in the present tense.
Cipriani reveals that “threesomes became the norm” and accuses Eddie Jones of behaving like a “horny teenager”, something he then denied.
Ironically, Cipriani has the public profile which rugby union craves but finds himself at odds with certain aspects ofhe prefers to be seen simply as a decision-maker. And perhaps his most interesting decision is the one that comes next in his rugby career.
