Cipriani 'bust-up' in Colorado

[Kinoulton]

Berk is reasonably abusive as it's rhyming slang. Berkshire Hunt.

Apt though.

[Duncan B]

I do know him and i can assure u he is a berk!

[Gate]

I thought it was Berkeley Hunt? Doesn't reduce its aptness though. I feel some Perrinesque Mockney rhyming slangs coming on. Just off for a quick bangers - too much coffee earlier. But not before I remind everyone that Cipriani is a proper Roland.

People seem to get attracted to the controversey .. whatever Cips does it will gain critical comment now. I do not subscribe to the popular opinion that he is a genius / saviour in waiting. Pretty much every FH you can think of has had a handfull of brilliant moments ... you name one that has not ??

Cips is a young confident FH ... he will play well and make mistakes too.

Once in the limelight you can't win unless you are a true super god .. but event then think MJ and England.

Well, the David Beckham of England rugby is Jonny Wilkinson.
Oh well, to be fair, it's nothing new for rugby players to go to "show clubs" together, and he deserved his rest in the off season
If he had acted as if he didn't give a flying toss, those paparazzi will lose interest.

Cipriani has just got alot of growing up to do trouble is he's doing it in the limelight & that will get reported & shown everywhere.

Just a fact of his life, He should have had his operation during the summer break instead of waiting & hoping he'd get called up for England or the lions that wasn't gonna happen.

Re: Cip's commitment to playing.
While I don't doubt his effort put in to come back so quickly, I have to seriously doubt his decision not to take his pin out and have some rest in a long summer.
He is not taking care of his own playing career well
Beckham lives like a celeb, but all you hear is him partying with other celebs and taking holidays with Vicky, not walking out from a "show club"
21 is the age when people treat you like an adult but still give you excuse to mess up.
I really hope he learns fast.

[Qbec]

vinniechan: Gonna be interesting to find if & when he learns.

Don't forget he's gotta still have that Op to remove those pins looks like it'll be during the season now.

[Qbec]

I take those pins are in his leg, They didn't put one though his skull did they, if so that would answer alot
