    England got it wrong by not selecting versatile Danny Cipriani for the World Cup, according to his Sale Sharks club boss Steve Diamond.

    "Danny plays full-back, centre and 10 and is a goal-kicker. I would have picked him and they made a mistake," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

    "It's about knowing when to utilise your bench, that's why I would have picked him."

    "We want to improve on last year and the main thing is that we stay calm," he told BBC Radio Leeds. 

    "My personal aim is to finish top 10. Is that realistic? Yes. I said from day one promotion is not on my agenda, it is not possible this season."

    Leeds have not been in the top flight since 2003-04 when they were relegated under caretaker boss Eddie Gray.
