Danny Cipriani's Randwick rendezvous has Waratahs tongues wagging according to the Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden.
"Danny Cipriani for the Waratahs? Surely not. Then again, strange things happen at Royal Randwick race meetings. Our snouts in Waratahland are adamant a NSW ''mover and shaker'' is interested in luring Cipriani from Melbourne, following Kurtley Beale's decision to go the other way. Apparently the Waratahs powerbroker was sighted palling around with the Rebels five-eighth at a recent Sydney race meeting shortly before it was announced the England Test pivot would play club rugby with Warringah this season. However, luring Cipriani to the Waratahs would be stridently opposed by several team officials due to doubts whether he would fit into their ''culture''. A common discussion point among the Waratahs is Cipriani's defensive frailties. He currently tops the Super Rugby statistics for the most missed tackles with 35. Maybe the Cipriani push simply involves marketing? We also hear several Force players - including a big-name forward - were interested in moving to the Waratahs but opted to stay put due to concerns about internal politics at NSW Rugby."
