England forwards coach Graham Rowntree suggests that the players will not be diving or feigning injuries during the Rugby World Cup.

England forwards coach Graham Rowntree has stated that he has no concern over the players diving or feigning injury during the Rugby World Cup.

The game's governing body has revealed that referees have been told to stamp out diving and appealing for penalties during the tournament by issuing yellow cards to players.

Rowntree, though, is confident that the England players will conduct themselves in the right manner on the pitch.

"I don't think it's a problem for us," he told BBC Sport

"It's an area of the game we've got to keep an eye on but it's not a huge area of concern for us."

Players who feign injury will receive a yellow card and 10 minutes in the sin bin, while teams who protest heavily with the officials will be marched 10 metres back.
