Cipriani given ultimatum

England and Wasps fly-half Danny Cipriani has been told to decide today where his future lies, according to Mark Souster in The Times.

"London Wasps are increasingly frustrated at speculation over the fly half’s possible move to Australia and have made it clear they cannot wait indefinitely for Cipriani to say what he wants to do. “We have to know where we stand because we need to make plans for next season,” a source said.

"David Campese, the former Australia World Cup-winning wing, said last night that it would be a mistake for Cipriani to move Down Under.

"Cipriani is known to want to keep his options open for as long as possible to see if a firm offer is made by Melbourne Rebels or whether a club in France decide to make a bid. Wasps have put a new contract on the table but are offering scarcely better terms than the ones he is already on. The Rebels, the new Super 15 franchise, have had to put their recruitment plans on hold temporarily while they resolve funding and other issues with the Australian Rugby Union."
