He's delaying the operation so that he's available for The Lions if needed. There's no way he should be picked! Even if McGeechan decided to replace Shanklin with a Fly Half I wouldn't take Cipriani. His form's been okay for Wasps but last time he played for England he was shocking! Besides, Vesty is in great form and if you're going to take someon with the 'X-Factor' (hate that phrase) then take Hook, or, if he's fit, take a risk on Henson as a centre.
