The 20-year-old Wasps star has been omitted for what the Rugby Football Union have termed “inappropriate behaviour last night”.

He is replaced in the starting line-up by Gloucester’s Iain Balshaw, who had originally made way for Cipriani to make his full England debut.

Balshaw’s place on the bench for the RBS 6 Nations clash goes to Sale Sharks fly-half Charlie Hodgson.

Cipriani, whose England career could now lie in tatters before it has barely started, will not travel to Scotland with the England squad later on Thursday.

The RFU say no further disciplinary action will be taken against him but he has been warned and advised about his future conduct.

England head coach Brian Ashton said: “I have taken the decision regarding Danny and the matter is now closed. I will keep an open mind on selecting him for future games."
