England have been warned that they will be "shooting themselves in the foot" if they write Danny Cipriani off for next year's Rugby World Cup.
Cipriani's new club the Melbourne Rebels have signed another northern hemisphere name in former Bath coach Mark Bakewell who will join Wales backrow forward Gareth Delve.
Bakewell established an impressive reputation during three years as forwards coach at the Rec and he says that more northern hemisphere players will sign for the privately-funded Melbourne club for the Super 15.
England Boss Martin Johnson told Cipriani that he will not be part of his elite player squad next season as his Super 15 commitments rule him out of next year’s Six Nations.
