Being a gifted athlete can be trickier than many people imagine. At some stage even comic-book boy wonders have to enter the real world and Danny Cipriani is currently enduring the steepest of learning curves. Earlier this season a Sunday tabloid gleefully revealed the young man had spent the night with a lady called Larissa who, it transpired, was actually a transsexual called Darren Pratt.
