Cipriani & Ashton are in the mix for November Internationals

Eddie Jones has confirmed that Gloucester flyhalf Danny Cipriani will be judged solely on his performances on the pitch.

Cipriani admitted common assault and avoiding arrest last month and was fined by his club and the Rugby Football Union (RFU).

Jones confirmed that the playmaker is in contention for a spot in his November test squad saying the issue has been "dealt with".

"I went down there on Monday and had a chat to him," Jones told BBC Sport.

"We will judge him on what he does on the pitch."

"You have got to find out what really happened. You have to find out the facts," Jones said.

"We spoke to Cipriani, we spoke to the club. We feel it's bean dealt with.

"It was a situation you wouldn't like to have and you wouldn't like to have again. Danny understands that."

The England coach also said that winger Chris Ashton is "still in the mix" for selection despite currently serving a seven-week ban.

Ashton is unlikely to play for his new side, Sale Sharks, before Jones names his squad in mid-October.

"It's tough, but he's certainly not out of the picture," Jones said. "We would rather see him playing than on the sidelines, but he's got a chance."

"He came into the August camp with a great attitude. One of our staff members went up to Sale and worked with him the last few days."
