On 18 May 2008, Cipriani suffered a fracture dislocation of his right ankle during Wasps semi-final play-off victory over Bath. Cipriani was tackled by Olly Barkley and got trapped at the bottom of a ruck in the 49th minute at Adams Park. He was ruled out of England's tour of New Zealand due to his ankle fracture. The injury also ruled him out of Wasps' victory in the 2007–08 Premiership final. Cipriani made his return to Wasps in a Premiership match against Bath on 1 October 2008.
