LONDON (Reuters) - Danny Cipriani was named in an England squad for the first time in six years on Thursday as coach Stuart Lancaster has decided the mercurial Sale flyhalf is no longer a risk to his team's esprit de corps.

Cipriani won all seven of his caps under Brian Ashton in 2008 - having been dropped from what would have been his debut against Scotland after being seen outside a nightclub days before a match.
