Danny Cipriani's farewell social media message to Gloucester fans
By Josh Raisey
Danny Cipriani has said that he is “excited for the challenges ahead” after leaving Gloucester with immediate effect on Tuesday. The fly-half posted a message on Twitter and Instagram saying he had “mixed emotions” about deciding to leave Kingsholm.
He wrote: "After much deliberation. I have decided to leave Gloucester. I have mixed emotions about it. I am sad to leave a great club, but I’m excited for the challenges I have ahead. I am so proud of what we have built together, and I have enjoyed working with every one."
This announcement came the day after RugbyPass revealed Adam Hastings, the Scotland out-half, would be joining Gloucester from Glasgow at the end of the 2020/21 season.
Gloucester suffered a humbling 55-10 loss to Lyon in the Heineken Champions Cup last weekend, a defeat the 33-year-old Cipriani was not involved in after the Cherry and Whites began their new Premiership campaign with just one win in three outings.
Having joined Gloucester in 2018, the 16-cap England international went on to win the Rugby Players Association players’ player of the year in 2019.
Despite his good form for Gloucester, Cipriani was unable to work his way back into the England team. His last cap came in 2018 while he was released from the training squad prior to the 2019 World Cup. With his Test career all but over, there will be plenty of interest for the maverick fly-half from abroad and there could be lucrative deals in both France and Japan.
There is plenty more high-class rugby in the fly-half, which is why he may be relishing the challenges that lie ahead with a new club. This is yet another interesting turn in Cipriani’s colourful career, which has seen him play in England for Wasps in two separate stints, Sale Sharks, Gloucester, as well as the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby.

Actually you need to read my responses properly. The response on which you responded is actually aimed at CO, another responder. Go read my original response on Ben Smith's BS. He is a bloody joke, a wannabe. And so is any of that losers followers. If you talk crap all the time it try to clickbait like BS, then don't expect people to respect him.
Most people (not you of course) will never take him serious. We all see him exactly for who and what he is. Talking about victories for the French in 2017 and 2021. Most of those players isn't in the AB's team. In the game in the WC the AB's was fresh off a hiding from the Boks with their confidence so easy targets. Unsettled team with a coach that already lost his job. As if that is such a motivation, most players knowing under Robinson they will be dropped for his Crusaders players.
Not exactly the environment in which to claim WC honours. Yet, despite all that turmoil, that AB team that got thrashed by the Boks and lost to France, came back and made the WC Final. None of these things get mentioned. Oh no, that doesn't suit his narrative doesn't it? He needs to clickbait the SH teams as usual.
I'm not a violent man, not always, but that's a pathetic little worm I would break every bone in his body, and each sound of breaking bone would give me as much pleasure as a win for the Boks. I would record the sound of his breaking bones and use it as a new ringtone. That is how much respect I have for idiot clickbaiters like him.
Instead of proper articles like the rest out there, all he mostly dish up is tripe. He should change his name to Tripe Smith. That is a much better description of the weasel. Is that dissing enough for you? Next time, actually read to who my responses are aimed at and read their responses as to what elicited that type of response from me.
I don't usually strip myself for any response by you. I actually agree with most everything you usually say and I'm sure you would be a much better writer than BS, however, make sure you read to who and why the responses there is from various people before commenting. As for Lomu, he is one of the greats, despite not getting a WC trophy. I only had the highest regard for that man. What a player and what a human being he was.
