LIST: 5 stars who clashed with Eddie Jones – and never played again

#1. Danny Cipriani

The pair clashed over Eddie Jones controversial comments about the fly-half in his autobiography.

“He said more about me in a book than he’s ever said to me. That’s all I know,” Cipriani told The Times

“He’s never said two words to me but I found out everything I need to know from him through a book.”

“How many times have I been turned down to play for England? It’s crazy. Was my intention right? I don’t know. I always felt like it was but perhaps it was giving off the wrong meaning to people.

“My intention to play for England might have been for self, for ego, or to prove people wrong. I don’t know fully until I let that go, which, in the last couple of weeks, I have.

“When I say let it go, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to do it but I’m in a much better frame of mind about it.”

DID YOU KNOW? A keen all-round sportsman, Cipriani played junior football for Queens Park Rangers and was offered youth terms by Reading
