Stuart Lancaster: 'Danny Cipriani excellent against Barbarians'

England head coach Stuart Lancaster praises Danny Cipriani following England's 73-12 victory over the Barbarians.

Head coach Stuart Lancaster has praised Danny Cipriani following England's 73-12 victory over the Barbarians.

Cipriani was named man of the match after converting all 10 tries, scoring two tries himself and adding a penalty to take his total for the game to 33 points.

"Danny was good and is a good enough player to apply the shape and organisation we're trying to create in attack," Lancaster told Sky Sports News.

"To kick 11 out of 11 is excellent. He has learned a lot about discipline from Sale this year, so he has been a lot more controlled and composed in games.

"He understands the mechanics of what it takes to win big games because I've seen him do it for Sale, so he has definitely improved through the course of the season. He played a lot at full-back four or five years ago and that versatility is certainly something we would consider further down the line as we get towards naming our World Cup squad, but fly-half is a pretty competitive position, as is full-back."

Cipriani returned to the England setup for the 2015 Six Nations following a lengthy period away from international duty.
