England players warned over ticket controversy

ENGLAND players will face possible disciplinary action if there is any repeat of the tickets saga that has blighted preparations for Saturday’s Six Nations clash against Wales.

Wing Ben Cohen’s personal ticket allocation has been suspended by Twickenham chiefs for the season. And Bath pair Olly Barkley and Matt Stevens are also set to receive a Rugby Football Union rap on the knuckles.

The issue revolves around players’ tickets ending up with unlicensed companies offering unofficial hospitality packages at England matches.
