It's that time of year again and in what is now surely a tradition to rival the turkey, the tree and all the trimmings, we're delighted to herald the return the ESPNscrum Festive Countdown for your amusement. Once again, we'll be counting down the days until the big one with an assortment of trivia and novelties to brighten your day - sadly, chocolate not included. Check out our latest offering below and be sure to check back tomorrow for your latest dose of festive fun! Oh, Danny boy Danny Cipriani both enjoyed and endured his two seasons in Super Rugby with the Melbourne Rebels before moving back to the Aviva Premiership this summer. In Australia he was at the centre of a number of controversial off-field incidents as well as showing some flashes of brilliance on the pitch. This performance, though, against the Western Force in March will be what many Rebels fans will remember him for.
