• Fly-half’s England future in doubt following misconduct charge
• ‘We have high standards we expect across the game,’ says RFU
Gloucester have accused the Rugby Football Union of a witch-hunt against Danny Cipriani, whose England future is in serious doubt after the governing body charged the fly-half following his conviction for common assault and resisting arrest.
In a considerable U-turn from the RFU, Cipriani was on Friday charged with “conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game” and will learn his fate next week. He faces a possible fine and a potential ban which would put any hopes of hanging on to his England place in grave danger.
