England's lost talent?
"Always a threat to the opposition with ball in hand."
The final line of Danny Cipriani's 1999 school rugby report, read out by headmaster Chris McGrath when the player re-visited Donhead prep school on Wednesday, still seems to sum him up as a rugby player more than a decade later.
Sir Clive Woodward, for one, thinks Cipriani was the missing link for England during an uninspiring Six Nations campaign that yielded just six tries in five matches.
Yet instead of looking forward to the build-up to the 2011 World Cup, the 22-year-old is preparing for a two-year sabbatical from international rugby with Super 15 newcomers Melbourne Rebels.
