The Melbourne Rebels are investigating an alleged nightclub incident last weekend involving their high-profile English rugby recruit Danny Cipriani.

The 23-year-old allegedly helped himself to a bottle of alcohol at a Prahran nightclub following his team's 43-0 loss in their debut Super Rugby match against NSW.

Management at the 161 nightclub on Chapel St reportedly asked Cipriani to leave the venue at around 4am on Saturday morning.

But police were not called.

A spokesperson for the Rebels said investigations were continuing.

"We are looking into it and will speak to Danny today but we won't be making any statement about it before the game," the spokesperson said.

The Rebels host the Brumbies in their round two match at AAMI Park on Friday night.

Cipriani was known for his playboy lifestyle in the UK and string of celebrity girlfriends.

Since his arrival in Melbourne he's become a regular along the nightclub strip and has been linked to singer Tamara Jaber, ex-wife of radio and television personality Kyle Sandilands, as well as former Neighbours star Stephanie McIntosh.

I can't wait for ninemsn's week 2 update of what Cipriani gets up to after the game.
