The Rugby Football League has launched an investigation after allegations that at least one member of the England side became embroiled in a fight in the hosts’ team hotel after their defeat in the World Cup semi-final.
England were beaten by Samoa in dramatic circumstances in London on Saturday, and while most of the squad left their base in Manchester after that loss, several members, including the squad’s Australian-based players, remained at the team hotel in Worsley. It has since emerged in reports from Australia that one member of the team became involved in a fight on Sunday evening.
