article: After helping Sale Sharks to a 23-6 victory against Gloucester last Saturday, Danny Cipriani has taken advantage of a rare free weekend from rugby by jetting off to Dubai for a short break. Cipriani contributed 13 points from the boot in a fine display against the Cherry and Whites and with Sale out of contention in Europe, Cipriani and his team-mates have the weekend off to recharge ahead of a crucial final four rounds of Aviva Premiership action. Steve Diamond's side will face London Irish, Harlequins, Newcastle and Exeter in the coming weeks as they look to secure a top-six finish and qualification for next season's European Champions Cup - and a short break looks to be the perfect preparation for Cipriani who has been integral to Sale's improved form this season. Danny Cipriani is currently relaxing on holiday in Dubai before Sale's last four Aviva Premiership games . With Sale out of contention in Europe, Cipriani took advantage off a free weekend to chill out on holiday . Sale are currently seventh in the league standings and although a play-off place is not out of the question, head coach Diamond conceded that a top-six finish looks more likely. 'The first goal is to qualify for the Champions Cup and we want to finish in sixth to do that,' Diamond said earlier this week. 'We'll just try to win every game. If we do then we will finish in the top six, but I do think the top four is a bit away from us and we're probably just off that. Cipriani fires over a conversion during Sale's 23-6 victory against Gloucester last Saturday . Cipriani tackles Gloucester centre Billy Twelvetrees during the clash at the AJ Bell Stadium . 'We've not got a squad that can compete with the top four, but at home we're a good side and it's difficult (to come here) as we've proven against Gloucester, Northampton and Saracens. Cipriani has been in superb form for Sale this season and was rewarded with a call-up to Stuart Lancaster's squad for the 2015 RBS 6 Nations campaign. George Ford was very much the first choice fly half for the tournament, but Cipriani made a number of impressive cameos from the bench against Italy, Scotland and France. Cipriani crosses for a late try during England's 47-17 victory against Italy at Twickenham in February . The Sale playmaker capped off his first appearance at Twickenham since November 2008 with a late try in the 47-17 victory against the Azzurri in February. Cipriani will be back in action on April 12 as Sale travel to the Madejski Stadium to take on London Irish in the Aviva Premiership.
