Ackermann on why this week was actually 'brilliant' for Cipriani

Despite pleading guilty to common assault and resisting arrest earlier this week, Danny Cipriani remains a positive influence among the Gloucester squad, says head coach Johan Ackermann.

Cipriani was fined £2,000 and made to pay £250 in compensation after an incident at a Jersey nightclub in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Gloucester subsequently offered their full support to the England international fly-half, and the club were “surprised and extremely disappointed” by the Rugby Football Union’s decision to charge the 30-year-old with “conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game”.

Cipriani was left out of Saturday’s pre-season win over Ulster, but Ackermann insists the recent arrival from Wasps remains highly regarded by everyone at the club.

“The players are embracing him. It is unfortunate the incident happened, but it is out of line with what was reported,” Ackermann told Gloucestershire Live.

“The players know his side and they back him and believe in him 100 per cent. We are totally focused on the job ahead.

“Credit to Danny, he has slotted in with the team and has put it behind him. He is a positive influence and has already contributed a lot to the team.

“He’s encouraging the team even now after the boys came in the changing room after this game.

“We’re very happy with how he’s slotted in with the team.

“This week was brilliant because he made his friends now and people know now what expectations and pressure he’s under and everyone now is closer to Danny and see him as part of the team.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
