Danny Cipriani not to be sanctioned by RFU

Thursday, 23 August 2018 16:00

Gloucester and England fly-half Danny Cipriani will not to be sanctioned by the Rugby Football Union following an incident at a nightclub in Jersey.

After pleading guilty to common assault and resisting arrest last Thursday, the 30-year-old was fined by magistrates and then - following an internal investigation - his club, who ordered him to do 10 hours of community service.

After a five-hour hearing, an independent panel upheld the charge that the 30-year-old's actions were prejudicial to the game's interests, deciding the £2,000 fines imposed on him by both Jersey magistrates and his Premiership club were sufficient.

He will now face Dragons in a pre-season friendly on Thursday.
