| Auckland police said they were investigating allegations of a sexual assault after England's first Test. | |
| The incident was alleged to have happened on 15 June at the team's hotel in Auckland after a players' night out. | |
| Reuters reports that a letter has been sent to the Rugby Football Union (RFU) confirming no complaint will be made. | |
| Jack Hodder, a partner in New Zealand law firm Chapman Tripp, told the RFU: "We can advise that the victim remains of the view that she will not make a formal complaint to the New Zealand Police." | |
| He said she felt taking such action would generate "extensive and invasive new media" and "threaten her privacy and personal life". |
