Cipriani points Wasps to victory

DANNY CIPRIANI, controversially omitted from England’s RBS Six Nations side by Martin Johnson, kicked the three penalties which enabled Wasps to pull off a 9-5 Guinness Premiership victory against Northampton yesterday.

But Cipriani was eclipsed by Northampton’s exciting young England hopeful Ben Foden, who scored the only try of the match.

Foden, left out by Johnson for last weekend’s defeat by Wales after making his England debut as a replacement in the previous week’s Twickenham victory over Italy, took a pass from out-half Stephen Myler to burst over in the left corner in the 55th minute.
