Meanwhile, the fly-half’s hearing in front of an independent disciplinary panel will take place next week, with a date set to be confirmed.
The 30-year-old England fly-half now faces an agonising period of uncertainty about his international future in light of the controversial episode in St Helier, during a night out with Gloucester team-mates.
Cipriani was fined £2,000 by Jersey Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to charges of common assault and resisting arrest following an incident that took place on Gloucester’s tour to Jersey.
He was also ordered to pay £250 compensation for the bruised neck suffered by a policewoman during the confrontation at the Royal Yacht Hotel in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
