Cipriani on cop assault charge

FACING COURT: RU star ENGLAND rugby star Danny Cipriani has been charged with assaulting a police officer outside a nightclub.

The 30-year-old was also charged with common assault, larceny, resisting arrest and being disorderly on licensed premises.

Cipriani was alleged to have been involved in an ugly 1am spat outside The Little Drift nightclub in St Helier, Jersey.

He has been remanded in custody and was due to appear at Jersey Magistrates’ Court this morning.

The fly-half was out with other players from Gloucester RFC as part of the club’s pre-season tour.

The club confirmed he had been arrested and charged, and that he would be appearing in court.

“We will be issuing no further comment at this time,” their statement added.

Last week Cipriani vowed to “do everything I can” to remain in the England set-up after making his first start in 10 years.

He has only recently re-established himself as a first choice England player after being out of the picture.
