Mike Tindall, Chris Ashton and James Haskell are served disciplinary action over their antics during England's World Cup campaign in New Zealand.

Gloucester centre Mike Tindall has been fined £25,000 and removed from England's Elite squad, while Chris Ashton and James Haskell have also been fined and issued with a warning over their antics in New Zealand during the World Cup.

The England trio have been found guilty of misconduct by the RFU for their condemned antics during the side's ill-fated World Cup campaign.

Tindall, who captained England during Lewis Moody's absence, will have major doubts over his England future after being dropped from the Elite player squad.

This decision comes after he was spotted with a number of his England teammates late-night drinking in Queenstown.

Haskell and Ashton have also been hit with a fine but have been warned that they could face harsher disciplinary action if they make a repeat of their actions in Dunedin.

Meanwhile, Dylan Hartley has been cleared of any wrongdoing during the World Cup.
