World Cup Daily: Mike Catt told Danny Cipriani 'I will end your England career'

The fall-out from England’s painful World Cup exit shows little sign of abating as an astonishing new story sheds further light on a supposedly tumultuous camp.

Attacking-skills coach Mike Catt and Danny Cipriani clashed during a training session at the end of August, moments after the fly-half was informed he would not be in Stuart Lancaster’s World Cup squad of 31.

According to the Daily Mail, Catt was furious with an apparent lack of effort from Cipriani and twice told him: "I will end your England career".

The report continues that shocked team-mates rallied around the 27-year-old before Catt later apologised.

However, Cipriani insisted in his column in The Sun that he harboured no ill feeling towards the coach.

"There has been a lot said about a training ground incident I had with Mike Catt this week when I was with England," he wrote.

"But I respect what happens in the England camp and what goes on there, stays there.

"We spoke and addressed the issue the next day and we have a good working relationship."

England crashed out of the World Cup after back-to-back defeats to Wales and Australia in Pool A, leading to widespread calls for a sweeping inquest into the failings.

The RFU admitted the pair had a “robust conversation”, but did not give much further detail.

New Zealand 6/5

Australia 11/4

South Africa 13/2

Ireland 9/1

France 11/1

Wales 14/1

Argentina 33/1

Scotland 80/1

Japan 250/1

Tonga 3000/1

It's all about Bryan Habana, who drew level with Jonah Lomu as the leading try-scorer in World Cup history.

Some were quick to shoot down the achievements of the South African, who took three tournaments to reach 15 tries in comparison to Lomu's two.

"I said in 2007 that I don't think I can ever be compared to Jonah, the way he changed the game, he was a class act," said Habana.

"He did it in two tournaments, it's taken me three. He became the first global superstar the game produced and I've got an unbelievable amount of respect for him.

"For me records are nice to achieve and personal milestones are fantastic, but the most important thing is making contributions to my side," he added.

There isn't any.

New Zealand and Tonga's clash in Pool C is next up on Friday evening.

Namibia, the lowest ranked team in the tournament, came close to pulling off an upset against Georgia on Wednesday. Leading 6-0 at half-time - the first time they had ever led a match after 40 minutes in the World Cup - their resistance eventually faded as they fell to a heart-breaking 17-16 defeat.

Just look at that emotion...
