Tuesday Round-Up
Cipriani to Wasps?
Danny Cipriani looks set to move to Wasps on a 2 year deal, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Cipriani, who started his career at Wasps as an 18 year old in 2004, is set to sign a reported £300,000 a year deal with the Coventry based club.
Wasps will confirm the deal in the next 48 hours, with Cipriani using a break clause in his contract to engineer the move.
Cipriani joined Sale in 2013 and has been a vital member of their squad in the last few seasons, so his departure would be a huge blow to Steve Diamond's side.
Harlequins and Toulon were both interested in the dynamic play-maker but it looks like Cipriani has made his decision to return to his boyhood club.
Care eyes no.9 role
Danny Care has set his sights on claiming the no. 9 jersey for England.
Care got 30 mins vs Italy after starting last week against Scotland.
England coach Eddie Jones has emphasised the importance of substitutes, labeling them as 'finishers'.
"I would like to have started again but Eddie said this week he wanted to change it up a little bit, see Ben play and see me off the bench," said Care. "I completely respected his decision.
"Everyone wants to be in that starting line-up. But whoever is on the bench is still a very good player.
"The lads who start do the real hard stuff and whoever comes off the bench gets to finish it off.
‘I got half an hour (against Italy) which I was happy with, and I’m happy with how I played."
