Jon Callard is hoping to help Danny Cipriani with his kicking technique in order to reduce the number of errors the Wasps’ fly-half is making.

Callard, who is the England kicking coach, believes most of Cipriani’s problems stem from low confidence which is hampering his undoubted ability.

In recent weeks, Cipriani has seen kicks charged down leading to heavy criticism, but Callard isn’t concerned by what he is seeing, “If your confidence is sapped and you are struggling for a good connection, you’d like to have a little bit more time on the ball. The problems he had with England during the November internationals were partly because we were on the back foot and partly the time on the ball.”
