In an era of blitz defences I’d love to see more 10s play like this. Russell is probably the closest we’ve got.
Russell is better
@@ethanspencer7060he certainly ain’t. There’s not many better and more naturally gifted tjen cips and this coming from a non English man
The only one who kept Danny Cipriani from being the starting 10 for England was Danny Cipriani
Excuse my ignorance but Why is that ? Was it injury or attitude ?This guy is a beast lol I mostly watch rugby league
When he was young yeah a bit of attitude. He was supposed to be Jonny Wilkinson's heir and had tons of hype. But the celebrity lifestyle sniped him.
He was a genius and I believe England just coudnt deal with him which was a shame .

Always rated Cipriani he was his own worst enemy !!
I feel sad

Right when I thought "that is an IMPRESSIVE highlight reel", I realised I was only halfway through the video
The kind of wizard needed to enliven Borthwick's Bores.
Would love to have seen more of him in an England shirt.
Don't know the face but the name proceeds him
Finn Russell has Danny Cipriani posters on his wall
That left to right 😍😍
Pure talent.
They’re saying Finn Russell the messi of rugby but forgot about this fella right here! The O.G Messi of rugby expect for Carlos Spencer 😂
Haven’t watched it but thanks
Can we get a video of just Nick Cummins interviews?
This close enough? th-cam.com/video/7qPiX6vY7Qc/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUZbmljayBjdW1taW5zIGFuZHJldyBmb3JkZQ%3D%3D

If only it were a Cipriani world. Rugby would be so much more interesting.
Johnson, lancaster & Jones...all England coaches who had the chance to pick him and decided he wasn't good enough.... All 3 can't be wrong

Danny Cipriani - the English version of Gavin Henson
Cipriani never had a big impacy for England except for one match. Henson was a key player in almost every game he played for Wales and huge part of their success.
So good every club in the premiership wanted him... For a bit... Sorry couldn't help myself
How does this man not have more england caps, he has everything, good defence and good attack, Finn Russell but better
Lol Finn Russell is the newer, more refined model of Cirpriani. I believe you have that the wrong way around and it’s not even close.
Just look at Finn Russell v Bristol
@@DSAJW256 game where bath didn’t show up defensively and were only allowed a chance to be in the game because of Russell’s playmaking. If it hadn’t been for him that was a 20+ point defeat
Not sure many would say that Cipriani had test level defence
@@matthew3078not necessarily disagreeing with you but did he have he have the opportunity to develop at test level that George Ford ( a weak defender at test level) had?
The man was amazing, such a shame he had so many demons to deal with.
Now need a Gavin henson's one ! 😂
Made a few before! On my channel :)
Too good for England

Prime Cipriani vs prime Russell im taking Cipriani every day
Les go
Is he still playing .
He hasn't made up his mind it seems...
no, he announced he's retired as of last week.
Say what you want about him but he was a baller
Probably the best 10 England have had since Wilkinson. It’s a shame he never got to his true potential internationally.
Never reached his potential too much off the field stuff didn't have the best attitude either
Do you have any actual evidence of "attitude" part?
Christ, I hate that turn of phrase.
