Melbourne Rebels fly-half Danny Cipriani has received the backing of former Wallabies back Pat Howard and World Cup winning coach Bob Dwyer after the England international was stood down from the Rebels derby game against the Queensland Reds following his latest off-field indiscretion. Cipriani, along with utility back Richard Kingi, was reprimanded after he disobeyed an agreement not to go on a night out after his side’s 28-9 defeat at the hands of the NSW Waratahs last week.
