Sale Sharks director Steve Diamond "delighted" by Danny Cipriani call-up

Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond expresses his delight after Danny Cipriani is named in England's Six Nations squad.

Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond believes that Danny Cipriani deserves his place in the England side for the upcoming Six Nations tournament.

The fly-half has been included in Stuart Lancaster's training squad alongside Nick Easter, who has not featured for his country since 2011.

Cipriani last represented England in 2008, but has worked his way back into the fold due to impressive form at club level.

"Everyone at the club is delighted for Danny and Ross [Harrison]," Diamond told Sale Sharks' official website. "Danny is a top-class player who has earned the opportunity to play for England at the Six Nations after his top form for the club this season.

"Ross deserves special praise as he's worked hard in making the switch to tight-head and I believe he deserves a chance to prove he can cut it at international level."

England will begin their Six Nations campaign in Cardiff against Wales on February 6.
