Melbourne - England flyhalf Danny Cipriani is hoping his gamble to move to Australia and join new Super 15 franchise Melbourne Rebels will prove to be a masterstroke from a player whose judgement has often been seen to be his weak point.
It will he hopes act as a springboard for him to return to the international fold, maybe even at this year's Rugby World Cup.
"I am really enjoying the time out here, being in the sun, and experiencing something new," said 23-year-old Cipriani, once hailed as English rugby's next superstar before a spectacular fall from grace.
After a sensational start with Wasps he got the nod for the England side in their opening 2008 Six Nations match against Scotland.
But as so often in his young career he looked to have blown his chance after he was dropped two days ahead of it after being photographed leaving a nightclub after midnight.
A chastened Cipriani - who said he had only gone to the nightclub to drop off tickets for some friends - returned later in the tournament and starred in a 33-10 demolition of Ireland.............
