England camp in turmoil before the big kick off

It started last week when England were beaten in a warm up match by minnows Italy 15-14.

Then during the week back rower Gareth Hock was kicked out of the World Cup squad for serious breaches of team discipline, and he wasn't the only to be disciplined, because England's number one prop forward James Graham has been left out of the side for tomorrows game.

And today coach Steve McNamara walked out of the press conference after persistent questioning about the none selection of James Graham as speculation continued over his involvement in the drinking session which led to Hock's removal from the squad.
