[QUOTE="best_fullback, post: 313686, member: 15318"] Just saw the match highlights on ITV. Fair play to Bath, one of the best performances i've seen by them; some great rugby being played. That man Barkley was electric and should definately be in the England squad on that form (outside anyone but 20-meters-deep Wilko). Cipriani on the other hand is a bit of a nightmare. I've never been too much of a fan to be honest, it was just another self destruction game by him. The interception pass was telegraphed about 20 minutes before he did it - but you could see what he was trying to do. Thats the exact problem with him though, always trying to go for the money play but it very rarely comes off. He's so far down the pecking order in the 10 role at the moment like this. Wilko, Flood, Barkley, Geraghty I would pick before him for country and there are some very, very good young 10's coming through that will be in the mix too if he doesn't buck his ideas up; Freddie Burns, Joe Ford, Stephen Myler, Ryan Lamb, Rory Clegg. I could honestly see Cipriani fading into obscurity if he doesn't improve his form in Aus. Yes he is a good attacker but his kicking and tackling are seriously questionable. I mean, he makes ROG look like a rock in defence! [/QUOTE]
