It was the first time the rising star has made a major error for his country and he said: "I took too long to get the ball out of my hands and it was my mistake. The better players react to this kind of thing and move on."

Cipriani replaced Jonny Wilkinson at fly-half with 14 minutes left and the Newcastle star said: "As you run off and shake hands with a guy of 20 who is taking your place, it makes you think he's the future. I thought he did brilliantly."
