Danny Cipriani: Not one Australian player would get in the England side

“The Aussies will be fired up, but when it comes down to it, head-to-head England are too strong.”

Danny Cipriani has invited unwanted attention on to England on the eve of their critical clash with Australia by declaring that not a single Wallaby would be good enough to be selected in Stuart Lancaster’s team.

Only victory over the Rugby Championship winners at Twickenham on Saturday will prevent the hosts exiting the World Cup at the group stage, a fate made possible by their 28-25 defeat by Wales.
