Backup flyhalf Danny Cipriani remains in contention for a place in England’s World Cup squad after he was re-bailed in his drink driving case until after the tournament.

The 27-year-old Sale Sharks back was arrested on June 1 after an early morning car crash in London but was named in Stuart Lancaster’s 40-man training squad for the September 18-October 31 tournament on home soil.

England kick off their bid for a second World Cup title on September 18 against Fiji at Twickenham before further Group A matches against Wales, Australia and Uruguay.
