  • Danny Cipriani has been omitted from England’s squad for their three-day training camp in Bristol which begins on Sunday.

    Cipriani was convicted of common assault and resisting arrest and fined a total of £4,000 following an incident outside a nightclub that took place during Gloucester’s pre-season tour to Jersey in August.

    Despite being England’s starting fly-half in their most recent game against South Africa – this call-up ended a three-year exile from selection – in June and producing an excellent opening to the season at his new club, Eddie Jones has left him out of the 36-man squad.

    England are set to play South Africa, New Zealand, Japan and Australia in the November internationals.
