i find it funny when marto says "didn't know he could run more than 15m" - Cipriani has pace like an outside back... a serious outside back!

I think Lancaster does view him as a potential England 10, but wants to see him in action over here! He certainly has the X factor. When he played for wasps he was great to watch!
@stanlymanly213 жыл бұрын
@rygipeldroed111 so true! thats why he flourished too during his stint with the wasps! he flourished when they allowed him to use his creativity. he was confined to such slow style rugby when he played for them. he was slowed down by the teams tactics.
@Sterlingjob12 жыл бұрын
As Stuart Barnes commented sometime ago.......do you want your 10 stuck at the bottom of a ruck or a maul or do you want him out there ready and waiting for the next play?? I don't think his defence is that bad, he wants to be setting up the next play
@philipeafroboy112 жыл бұрын
@Punnarniman yeah, except with more pace, doesnt help that his club doesnt really pick him anymore either. Hopefully he can pick up some form and the new england coach will pick him. Him and Manu Tuilagi would be insane!
@Roberto_7912 жыл бұрын
@VReyland91 I hear what your saying but it's the same issue Australia & Queensland had with Quad Cooper 2-3 years ago, he couldn't tackle for toffee, but they stuck with him and made him learn to front up. Come the world cup he could handle it. I think if he'd been in England's 22 at the very least, covering fly half and full back over the same period he would have been more than up to the tasks. When management doubt you, you inevitably doubt yourself. Believe is a powerful ally.

@SirBurgundy Even if he does improve I can't see him replacing Flood. Even if his defence does improve the fact that Flood plays week in week out with Ben Youngs and has developed a great partnership with him will put him ahead. Can't see him replacing Ol' Jonny as the No.2 Fly-half either because...well he's Jonny.
@theMteam2313 жыл бұрын
@Punnarniman completely agree with everything you said.
@MrZogsify13 жыл бұрын
@SirBurgundy Problem is though he'll never replace Foden at full-back, Allen or Twelvetrees are England's future 12's and Tuilagi is the most likely candidate for 13 when they no longer need Tindall's experience & leadership (and let's face it he provides sod all in actual playing ability). Admittedly with Jonny signing a new contract with Toulon he'll be out of the England team but Johnson will just pick the less talented but more dependable Hodgson rather than running back to Cipriani.

He's a raw precocious talent that England should have nurtured better.... Quad Cooper, has failings all over the place but his attacking flair is beyond reproach, Australian rugby decided that 2-3yr from the world cup this was their fly-half and 10-15 tri-nations games of rugby would either make him or break him. he is now probably no.2 on the world list of fly-halfs. Matthew Tait was tackled ONCE on debut and has never been backed again, Cipriani barely got a sniff. ERFU are cowards to talent

Learn to read properly and acknowledge punctuation. My post (of 12 months ago btw) claimed Quad Cooper to be the 2nd best fly half in the world (behind Carter). Winning the Super 15 title with the Reds showed him at his best...., My overall point was that HAD the English RFU handled his development better he would have been our Cooper! Point re-iterated!

England messed mathew tait around so much, it was disgraceful. They played him centre or wing never let him settle down in a particular position where he could have begun to hone his skills there. Instead they switch him around all the time where he can never get any momentum in his performances then all of a sudden they decide to drop him altogether, he was never past the beginning stage of knowing where he was going to play?! Its a shame his career has been hampered by injuries though...

@jc545staffy Conservative: button down, unimaginatively conventional (Princeton Wordnet). I think it can apply here, don't you? When you say not as rounded as other 10's, what do you mean? That his defence is his weakpoint? There are plenty of other fly halves with the same problem who have been playing test rugby for years. I do not have a problem with the selection of Flood, he is a very good player, however Wilkinson over the past 5 years has been average at best.

@smithyboy00 how is that conservative, do you even know what that means? picking Cipriani is not an option atm, its not playing safe its playing it correctly he is not as rounded as other 10's. As for safe over talented yeah you tell wilko and his point score and his numerous game turning dump tackles he pulls out the bag. And as for flood, he wasnt exactly the safe option, only recently has he started producing quality to keep the jersey.

@jc545staffy This is the kind of conservative attitude that England don't need. Do you think Australia would drop Quade Cooper because he makes more mistakes than someone like Berrick Barnes? Consistently picking the "safe" option over a talented one will never elevate a team to the top tier of test rugby.
