Andy Goode explains why he thinks Cipriani's pass was even better than Finn Russell's in the Six Nations
By Rugby Pod
On The Rugby Pod this week, Andy Goode went into detail as to why he believed that Danny Cipriani’s pass against Northampton was technically more impressive than Finn Russell’s against England.

Cipriani produced a virtuoso display on his Gloucester debut to help his new team record a 27-16 Premiership win over Northampton Saints.
The fly-off was fined after pleading guilty to charges of common assault and resisting arrest for an incident that occurred at a Jersey nightclub last month.
Cipriani was selected for Gloucester’s first Premiership game of the season on Saturday and delivered an exquisite pass over two Northampton players to Charlie Sharples, who crossed for one of his team’s two tries.
It has been likened to Finn Russell’s famous Six Nations pass against England in the Calcutta Cup, but Goodey thinks it was even better.

Happy for him. When starting out for the western force (Perth Australia) he gave up some penalties but did a great job going toe to toe with the saffer forward packs. He’s tough and he’s tall.

Wallabies discipline a major issue, but should they keep the count low then they may have a shot at applying pressure.
