As always, Cipriani’s future has been in the news with rumours circulating about his destination next year.

“I can only speak on my behalf and what I know and that is that he’s signed for next season,”
“I’m not aware of any release clauses so, according to me, Danny is here with us for the 2019-20 season. Post that I’m not quite sure, that’s an ongoing process with the club and with Danny.”

This will be music to Gloucester fans who have enjoyed several moments of magic already this season, just like this one on the weekend.
