Rugby Australia is set to be approached by 'high-ranking sporting officials' with claims of match fixing during a Wallabies match a number of years ago.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the officials are questioning the actions of at least three players who 'still have considerable links to Australian Rugby'.
The date of the alleged match is unknown but it is believed to have been one in which Australia were heavily fancied to win with their opposition unfancied by the bookmakers.
The Wallabies went on to lose the match and there were several incidents of bizarre behaviour with 'dubious forward passes, easy tackles being missed, confounding knock-ons and easy midfield kicks going nowhere near their target.'
There was greater cause for concern for officials as they had been made aware of links between several players and someone involved in horse racing. They were also understood to be close to a bookmaker and were sighted spending time with both.
