The Rugby Football Union have already written to wing Ben Cohen and suspended his allocation of tickets for England games for the rest of this season.

Tickets have allegedly found their way into the hands of unlicensed hospitality operators, but Woodward has vowed that there will be no repeat.

I had a chat with the players yesterday about it, and they are under no illusions about what is happening at Twickenham in terms of the clampdown, said Woodward.

One or two of them have made a mistake and it won't happen again. It has been sorted out.

There has been an error of judgement. Some tickets have got into the wrong hands, which can happen, but it won't happen again.

If it does, then Woodward has made his players fully aware of the consequences.

At the moment, the penalty is loss of tickets, Woodward added. But the players fully understand that if it happens again, then they will go through disciplinary procedures at the RFU.

This squad of players set incredibly high standards. One or two of them made an error and it won't happen again, I promise you.

I won't allow the standards to slip, and they have slipped. I cleared the air yesterday.
