Danny Cipriani: 'I'm going to tell my mummy!'Someone should've reminded Danny Cipriani that Martin Johnson wanted Mike Catt on his England staff before the arrogant Wasps fly-half shunned the World Cup winner's offer of a post-match handshake. The champions nicked the battle of Berkshire, 21-16, thanks to a bulldozing back-row display from Messrs Rees, Betsen and Hart.
The Premiership's form number ten, Sam Vesty, is at Leicester Tigers and the local-boy has been instrumental in the Tigers jaw-dropping switch to a more open brand of rugby. It's been a while since a Tiger has been condoned for throwing a loose interception pass but last year's finalists are flourishing at present and despite not crossing the whitewash in the 24-10 victory over Gloucester, they had several chances and Julien Dupuy's trusted boot.
Four teams rest on 47 points with Bath and Harlequins the big movers at the last round of matches. Bath mercilessly put Division One doomed Bristol to the sword, 45-8, while Danny Care excelled for the Quins, compounding a horrible week for Saracens, 21-15.
Newcastle Falcons made it five wins in a row with a sensational 32-25 triumph at Sale, capturing a rare bonus point against the league's meanest defence. Charlie Hodgson might've surpassed Jonny WIlkinson's record Premiership points tally of 1,489, but it was unknown debutant, Andrew Fenby that stole the headlines, running in his astonishing 69th score in 71 matches - most of which came for Blaydon RFC.
Elsewhere, Northampton celebrated their first away win of the season at Worcester Warriors, 22-12.
