Rugby:England captain Lewis Moody will be fined €5,516 if he is found to have worn a branded mouthguard in Saturday's Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat by France.
Tournament officials are very strict on any breaches of the commercial regulations and they have already fined Moody's England team-mate Manu Tuilagi and the latter’s brother Alesana Tuilagi, who plays for Samoa.
An International Rugby Board representative confirmed Moody would be hit with the same standard €5,7300 fine if the allegation is proven.
A Rugby Football Union spokesman said England, who returned home from New
Zealand today, had not yet received any communication on the matter from the International Rugby Board.
