By Liam Heagney
An unnamed England rugby player - who cannot be named for legal reasons - has reportedly been arrested on the suspicion of raping a teenager last weekend. Sportsmail have reported on Tuesday evening that the player was detained by police on Sunday following an alleged attack at a nightclub the day before.
The Sportsmail report read: “The man was arrested, and a 41-year-old woman was also held on suspicion of administering a substance with intent to cause a sexual offence. Both have been released on bail while detectives continue their investigations."
The report on the incident involving the unnamed England player also included comments from a police spokesperson. “Officers were called shortly before 11am on Sunday, January 9, to a report of a sexual assault on a female. A woman in her late teens was reported to have been sexually assaulted.
“A man was arrested on suspicion of rape and a woman was arrested on suspicion of administering a substance with intent to cause a sexual offence.
“Both have since been released on bail as enquiries continue and a number of lines of enquiry are being followed up by detectives.”

Disagree.
The challenge for the All Blacks now that they have 7 of 8 starting forwards locked in and all but one bench forward (only one loose forward and bench loosie to settle on) is to sort out the starting backline as only 9 Roigard, 12 J. Barrett, 11 Clarke and 15 Jordan had good to outstanding seasons in 2024. All the other backs were inconsistent or poor and question marks going into 2025.
