New bail date gives Cipriani hope for WCup

Backup flyhalf Danny Cipriani remains in contention for a place in England鈥檚 World Cup squad after he was re-bailed in his drink driving case until after the tournament.

The 27-year-old Sale Sharks back was arrested on June 1 after an early morning car crash in London but was named in Stuart Lancaster鈥檚 40-man training squad for the September 18-October 31 tournament on home soil. British media on Monday quoted a police spokesman confirming Cipriani鈥檚 had been re-bailed until mid-November pending further investigation. England kicks off its bid for a second World Cup title on September 18 against Pacific Nations Cup winner Fiji at Twickenham before further Group A matches against Wales, Australia and Uruguay. Cipriani, a versatile back, is expected to provide cover for flyhalves George Ford and Owen Farrell if he makes the squad.
