The woman who was alleged involved in a sexual assault by four England rugby players in New Zealand has said she will not be making a formal complaint.

Auckland police were investigating allegations of a sexual assault at the Hilton Hotel in June.

The players, who denied any wrongdoing, had been on a night out following England's first Test defeat.

Lawyers for the woman said she felt making a complaint would attract media attention and threaten her privacy.

The players, who have not been identified, declined to be interviewed by police during the tour as no formal complaint had been made.

After the allegation was made, RFU chief executive Francis Baron said the RFU was desperate to clear the players' names.
