Cipriani not quitting rugby

New Australian franchise Melbourne Rebels coach Rod MacQueen has played down media reports from the UK that had reported that English fly-half Danny Cipriani is trying to get out of his newly signed rugby contract and pursue a career in soccer. The Daily Mail had reported that the 22-year-old had grown so disillusioned with rugby, after his well-publicised breakup with his English girlfriend, model Kelly Brook which had left him brokenhearted, that the ex-England international may be interested in trialling for two English Premier League clubs.
“Danny’s a little broken-hearted after the breakup with his girlfriend, but as far as I know, he’s not trying to get out of his contract”, said Rod MacQueen. after apparely receiving a text message from the player who rubbished the rumours, who is currently in Los Angeles training with NFL players to improve his footwork, before joining up with the Rebels later in the year.

Cipriani had played 7 times for England but had since struggle to hold on to a position in the side, after narrowly missing out on selection for the 2007 World Cup, and being axed from the Six Nations Cup for inappropriate behaviour. While he has time on his side, being quite young, England manager Martin Johnson had insisted that Cipriani would not be in the equation to play for England whilst he is playing in the southern hemisphere and would therefore most likely not figure in next year’s showpiece in New Zealand.
