Although he has not officially announced his retirement, Danny Cipriani, the former England playmaker, has been without a club since leaving Bath last year.
At 35 years old, Cipriani has maintained excellent physical condition and continues to hone his kicking skills with the guidance of England legend Jonny Wilkinson. The two also share a passion for playing basketball.<
“I’m just keeping it fit and enjoying my training,” revealed Cipriani.
“I think the best part at the moment is your whole career you’re told how to train, what to do, and so on and so.

I’m away from that, I’ve enjoyed my fitness, my movement more than ever. It’s really enjoyable. Playing lots of football.
“I also feel my best rugby could be in front of me,” said the 35-year-old. “Or I might never play again. And physically, I feel world-class.”

New career:

Having initially written for The Telegraph, Danny Cipriani has now established himself as a regular columnist for the Mail Online.
In a surprising career transition to writing, he has demonstrated his knowledge and strong opinions as a columnist.
Cipriani is expected to play a significant role in the 2023 Rugby World Cup team, and his insights are eagerly anticipated.
After trying a bit of punditry with BT Sport, he could also be recruited by ITV as part of their coverage of the tournament also.

These rugby players have enjoyed a remarkable body transformation over the years, with some bulking up while others seriously slimmed down.

RICHIE MCCAW

The All Blacks legendary captain has revealed he's dropped 17kg since retiring, shifting what he called 'unnecessary rugby muscle'.
Since hanging up his boots following their 2015 World Cup triumph, McCaw has become obsessed with ultra-hardcore marathons and has shifted a lot of that weight to give him a speed advantage.
The 41-year-old, who weighed 107 kg, is now closer to 90kg since dropping the weight.

DAVID POCOCK

The Wallabies legend started out as an skinny 78kg teen who worked day in and day out to transform himself, with his size and strength came at a cost, Pocock told Australian Story.

PHIL VICKERY

The World Cup-winning prop has transformed his body since hanging up his boots. Vickery, who won the 2011 series of Celebrity Masterchef, has recently opened his new Cheltenham restaurant, No.3, after the Coronavirus pandemic delayed first orders. He's literally half the man he used to be.

MATT DUNNING

When he was a prop for the Wallabies Matt Dunning weighed 130kg and was constantly mocked for his tubby frame.
But since retiring from rugby union the 35-year-old has lost a staggering 40kg, dropping from 25 per cent body fat to just 11 per cent in six months.
He looks amazing.

LUTHER BURRELL

The centre missed out on Eddie Jones’ first squad for the Six Nations Grand Slam triumph in 2016 with the Aussie labelling him “grossly overweight”.
He revealed his incredible body transformation online yesterday saying in the caption…
‘Putting a picture up like this for me was very challenging and potentially very embarrassing. It can sometimes put you in a vulnerable position…. So I seriously can’t thank everyone enough for contacting me, showing interest in my continued journey and also being kind I’m still smashing through messages, so please bare with me if I haven’t yet got back to you. •’

JONATHAN DAVIES

Less Guinness and more hard work has seen the former Wales star transform himself during lockdown. He looks incredible!
