The Wallabies' preparations for tomorrow's Test against England have been thrown into turmoil after it emerged Adam Ashley‑Cooper and Kurtley Beale were axed after breaking team rules.

The incident happened at the squad's Cardiff hotel following the defeat to Wales at the Principality Stadium when the pair invited three women back to their room.

The women were known by the pair, with one of them Ashley‑Cooper's sister‑in‑ law, but team rules stipulate guests are not allowed into player's rooms.

Coach Michael Cheika said the pair had made "an error of judgement" and it cost them their place in the team.

The team's leadership group, led by skipper Michael Hooper, informed Cheika of what happened this Tuesday and asked him to take appropriate action.

Meanwhile the Wallabies will take on the England at 4am tomorrow.
