Cipriani booted out of the England squad for Saturday's game
According to The Sun (I know not the fountain of all reliable knowledge) Danny Cipriani has been booted out of the squad for this Saturday's game due to a breach of rules following a night out in Mayfiar - if true, what options now - has to be Lewsey??

I was out in London last night and didn't see him but then I haven't had a sex change so he wouldn't be interested...!
Absolute Pratt...! You'd think once bitten etc...
Conspiracy theorists would bet that Balshaw grassed him up..........

Let's hope his outstanding talent isn't swallowed up by off field antics. We'll put it down to the exuberance of youth, call him a silly boy and let him take his punishment saying no more about it.
You just know the papers are now going to label him as a wild child and a hell raiser.

BBC reports it had something to do with his leaving a nightclub last night after midnight.
Pure speculation but I wonder if he broke curfew? If so, what a silly boy.
I guess expulsion shows a tough hand from the management about stepping out of line. If only the entire team didn't have to be punished by having Balshaw back in the line.
Hodgson now on the bench, Lewsey's career really is well and truly over.

Agreed .... image what state Balshaws head is in ?? the whole world (expect bashton) has slammed him for weeks. Then that first high ball comes down and the Scottish players and crowd smell blood !!! Forget ideas of chasing a high margin victory ... remember this is England vs Scotland !! We will do well to win.

The worry now is that on Saturday night there will be loads of Scots coming out of nightclubs late on re-creating the up and under which won them the game.
Pound to a penny it's gonna rain ice covered rugby balls in the England 22 on Saturday now.
The one hope is that the drug testers find Balshaw has been over doing the Horlicks.
