That kick at 4:03 just embodies what a player he is, who else could (or would) do that, so unselfish and fantastic vision - 2 qualities of this player, no question in my mind that he should be playing for England in the World Cup

[@Nat-oj2uc]

Also this one 3:17like wtf is he footballer. Crazy skills

[@bikesnippets]

Should have been our fly half for the last 8 years or so.

[@macrovigilance]

A world class player... and should be lighting up this year's RWC. Shame on the England management if he isn't on the plane to Japan!

[@jamesgryko4164]

All I can say is he did everything, the manager allegedly has a issue with him it like leaving Wilkinson out . player of the season.,his only chance now is for one of the fly half not to be fit in the next 3 games..

Never going to happen with Jones charge but this is the sort of player England will need to unlock the well drilled teams....ie AB's, SA, Wales, Australia.

[@mattyng9802]

psygnosis666 he got to be a good sub later in game start farrel at 10 and then move him to 12 with slade or tuilaingie at 13 that would finish teams of late on

[@redd605]

Why do managers make it difficult for themselves he is the Messi of English rugby, but doesn't rate him to leave him out , what more has he to do,player of the season. It like what the real Madrid manager is doing to bale , when he says nothing personal?

[@alexjames1022]

Just seen the latest England WC squad- it's just so depressing to not see Cipriani's name in there. He's clearly the form 10 in Europe and as many others have written, he has an X factor that Ford and Farrell do not, and he has a unique ability to create priceless game-changing moments which you cannot coach. He's a maverick, a classic flair player. I get that Farrell has got the 10 shirt, but surely Cipriani would be an amazing option off the bench? Far more so than Ford. If you're the opposition playing against England and Ford trots on, you basically see a tackle bag. If Cips comes on you'll double the fuck down on your defence and be very wary of potential line breaks. That's the difference. Cips is a massive threat. Read some of the comments Southern Hemisphere fans write on forums and blogs- they all despise England, but categorically agree that Cipriani is the player they'd least like to face at the WC. I'll say this: if England don't win the WC this year, and a lot of it is due to bluntness in attack, questions will be asked.

[@amex5056]

England can be very predictable at times , That’s when you need Danny available ...... Eddie are you listening

[@ryanlinthwaite8859]

As a Leicester fan he should be in the England squad. Don’t know why he’s not

[@MegaCod66]

Ryan Linthwaite because Eddie Jones is a sex offender

[@nuirueu]

Jones won't pick him because Cips doesn't conform like Farrel and Ford do. They follow Jones' orders to the letter, but Cips would is a maverick and Jones won't tolerate that.

[@ryanlinthwaite8859]

nuirueu I think he will bring something different to England when he plays for them. I think he should get a chance as he is a great player with ball in hand as you seen on the video.

[@chrisw-j9249]

As a Tigers fan, I don't know why Ford gets the nod ahead of Cipriani...I'd play him at 10 ahead of the Incredible Sulk.

[@jamesgryko4164]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppDWfouBlJVobKs this proves tht Cipriani should start for England

[@jameswood99]

Fantastic player.

[@mosesfakatou7943]

Austin Healey, who I’m not always a big fan of, summed it well at the end when said: “That is talent. The ability to read a phase beyond a phase”. I really do question how well Farrell and Ford can do that. They may consistent, but it’s that talent that maybe they lack. Plus, I feel like Ford coming off the bench is no different to Farrell playing, they give the same sort of input. I always question too, if Farrell gets injured (which is a perfectly possible scenario) can Ford really boss and lead the pack? Cipriani gives you that surprise element that teams will find difficult to defend against. Cipriani not only deserves a place in the training squad, he deserves a seat on the plane.

[@sebclement6253]

Eddie has missed a trick I'm afraid. I would actually put England in the unplayable category if they got him firing in front of a full English pack going forward. Eddie never gave it a chance. Mako George Sink Itoje Kruis Wilson Currio Billy youngs Cips May Farrell Tuilagi watson daly. bench: Genge Cowan D Williams Lawes clifford care slade Nowell is a ridiculous team. Two playmakers in the backs, one for magic, the other for organisation and goal kicking.. and unreal strike runners. I imagine cips and Farrell to be a bit chalk and cheese but sometimes that works. People get along better in front of a nasty pack.

[@jasoncallon6824]

Seb Clement amazing team but starting Spencer over Youngs is bad. Spencer’s form is ridiculously good but Young’s experience and game management is much more crucial, especially in RWC year.

He should be going to the world cup.

[@mfuller3398]

If Eddie doesn't take him to the world cup he should never coach again. What an unbelievable player, potentially the form 10 in the world.

[@Glenn24681]

I think we can all agree by just looking at how much he’s played, Farrell will be the starting 10 in the World Cup. But bring this guy along instead of ford and when it really comes downs to the nail and you need some magic in there, drop Farrell to 12 and let cips do his magic...

[@joshwheeler9732]

OllIe Swanson would I be crazy to say I’d like to see cips at 10 then Farrell at 15

[@timknott5856]

Love rugby however particularly in England for years players often don’t make it due to to Cliques and back ground (which private school you went too). The last 10 years has seen a massive change in this where we’ve seen players from comprehensive schools break through. However Danny Copriani still shows this form of selection Biased is still in... what’s the guy got to do to get selected ??? He went to Australia for crying out loud to get away from the negative press to get into the side... One of the most gifted 10s England has produced...

[@nick260682]

Cipriani went to Whitgift, which is a private school, and also the same school Jones’ favourite Eliot Daly went to. So your main point doesn’t really work. I agree I’d love to see him in the squad, but I guess his past behaviour has counted against him. I personally don’t think he’s done anything particularly bad, but that is the situation.

[@timknott5856]

nick260682 why is t my point valid?? I stated Cliques and Backgrounds... he clearly doesn’t fit into England’s Clique... hasn’t done since day one....

intro song is hold up-fasion

[@paulmulryne8405]

Typical of us to waste the talents of (potentially)the best 10 we’ve ever produced in this country.

[@tomrecord2507]

Look at other great modern fly half's. Carter, Barrett, Wilkinson, Sexton, They're all incredibly reliable at their job, Cipriani could lose you a game just as easily as he could win you one. Quade Cooper pass intercepted by Tommy Bowe in the 2011 world cup vs Ireland as an example.

[@KnightWing274]

I felt like England needed Cipriani magic in the world cup final 😂😂

[@emmanuelmasindi2390]

As a Bok fan, I'm delighted he wasn't playing. As a rugby fan, its a bit of a travesty. Imagine seeing such skill in a World Cup final.

[@DarkSaint411]

As a South African, I’d like to thank Eddie Jones for sparing us from all the headaches this man would have given us had he made the squad

[@markhamer4168]

By far the best fly half in England.

[@a.harrison_outdoors9810]

You see this skill in every rugby league game. Maybe he should make the code switch and put his skills to the test.

[@lucasdeano6907]

He wasn't picked for England even though we have Heinz at 9 which has a good Gloucester link

[@JTM1809]

Jones will face some real pressure, if he doesn't name him for the RWC squad.

[@scottb791]

Cips MUST go to Japan.. He brings so much variation and unpredictability to the game - the Southern hemisphere won't know what to do against him.. George Ford is a great player, but too similar to Owen F. Cips ABSOLUTELY MUST take priority over Ford. How can the Player of the Season not go.. ? He could win the World Cup for England.

[@markhamer7220]

A far far better footballer than Farrell,Ford etc..

[@tollyt7465]

There is one reason only that Cips probably won't be in the RWC squad.. Farrell doesn't get on with him and has far too much say in selection.. I've said on other channels, and taken flack from many, we can't win the WC without Cips. Even if its just coming off the bench in difficult games.. He can do things no other England 10 can dream about, and, Ford is a liability..

[@harv724]

*we can't win the WC with Jones

[@tollyt7465]

@@harv724 We can, but he has to select the squad based on form players, and not just those he considers to be good on their day.. Players like Hughes, Shields, Ford, Care and Te'o haven't played anywhere near as well as Cipriani, Dombrand, Kvesic, Big Joe C, Marchant, Spencer.. Alex Goode is the form 15, with the Daly at 15 experiment a failure, so Goode or Watson should be at FB.. Big Joe C is the form finisher who offers something different to all other wingers we have, Joe Marchant is playing as well as Joseph ever has in the past..

[@geordie24]

I don't support England but Cipriani is Class. Farrell is a "hot head" and should not be at 10

[@danedwadd62]

Na farrell is world class, this hot head from couple tackles, cipriani should be on bench

[@douglasorr7799]

Think Farrell and Ford play a very similar style of game to each other, this may suit the way that Eddie Jones wants England to play but if a teams got you worked out you need the ability to bring on a player that brings something different to the field, and that's Cipriani. He has been great this year and I think the only reason hes not in the squad is Eddie doesn't want to back track on himself. Would love to see him get a chance at the World cup as England would turn into a more complete beast.

[@rivingtonpike7899]

England enjoy picking relatively slow players at 9, 10 and 12 who kick poorly and offer little to no attacking threat with ball in hand.

@@nick260682 well its more like his play doesnt look that great as compared to what you see in super rugby. Maybe its cos of the Northern Hem. style rugby? but idk theres something 'eh' about it if you get what im saying. But maybe im being too harsh lol And off current form and over the course of this year, 100% Ritchie over Barret. Better goal kicking, tactical kicking and link up play. But when the all black Jersey is on, its a different game for Barret. I'd choose Ritchie and give him a chance but im sure Hansen will give it to Barret, he's done it before. What do you rate?

[@nick260682]

MrDub003 For the first time this season I’ve watched quite a bit of Super rugby (the NZ games are on Saturday mornings here) and I’ve not been that impressed. No one really bothers defending. Might as well watch 7s. Pretty sure Saracens or Leinster would walk over any Super team. You sound like you haven’t actually watched any NH rugby. See if you can find the premiership final from a few weeks ago - Exeter v Saracens and tell me it’s “eh”. Yeah from what I’ve seen of Mo’unga he looks a more complete player. Barrett is great when he gets an armchair ride from his forwards, but he seems to disappear bit when under pressure, whereas Mo’unga seems more assured. But yeah Hansen will probably go with BB.
