LONDON (Reuters) - England flyhalf Danny Cipriani signalled his intent to fight for a World Cup place by rejecting advances from European champions Toulon and sign a new two-year deal with Sale Sharks on Thursday.

The 27-year-old, who scored a try 22 seconds after coming on as a replacement in England's 47-17 victory over Italy on Saturday -- his first Six Nations appearance since 2008 -- was due to become a free agent at the end of the season.
