Melbourne Rebels players Danny Cipriani and Richard Kingi have agreed to stand down from this week’s game against the Reds.

The Players Standards Group met today and agreed that both players should stand down immediately.

“We have taken this action due to a breach of team protocol.  We are very protective of our standards and we are disappointed that these players have put themselves before the team,” Club Captain Tim Davidson said.

Rebels CEO Ross Oakley said that Cipriani and Kingi had both failed to uphold an agreement made by the players following Saturday night’s game against the Waratahs in Sydney.

“Both players defied a team directive to abstain from staying out late on Saturday night, given the 6 day break ahead of our next game.  The club fully supports the decision of our Player Standards Group,” CEO Ross Oakley said.
