The 21-year-old appears to have resigned himself to a place in the second-string England Saxons squad heading for the Churchill Cup in Denver.

Cipriani told the Sunday Times: "I will do my very best for the Saxons and am looking forward to joining up with them but I can't pretend that I am not massively disappointed.

The fly-half was demoted to the Saxons during the RBS 6 Nations after losing his place in the senior England squad to Brive fly-half Andy Goode.

Although Cipriani is on the official standby list for the British and Irish Lions, it appears he has been overtaken in the England pecking order by Leicester's in-form Sam Vesty.

He added: "I am totally dedicated to wearing the England shirt and to go out and do whatever they want me to do.

"They have told me to go out and show that I can lead a side and also that I need to get in some game time.

"I will keep myself very fit, do my best with the Saxons and be ready (for the Lions) if needed."
