England's loss could be Melbourne's considerable gain according to Wallabies legend Michael Lynagh - the Sydney Morning Herald's Ed Jackson writes.
"There's a lot of interest in the Melbourne team with Cipriani playing there, a huge amount of interest in it actually," the legendary No.10 told AAP from the Laureus Sports Awards in Abu Dhabi.
"It's unfortunate circumstances that somebody as young and talented as him feels he has to leave because for whatever reasons he's feels he's not getting a fair look-in into the national set-up.
"I think there's faults on both sides. I think he's a very talented player and he's got a lot to offer and leaving the environment that he's been in might be good for him. He certainly seems to think that going to Melbourne is a good opportunity to develop himself as a player and a person and I tend to agree with him."
