“Tom is good paymaya
I know players will have got around him paymaya
Steve and the management team have been all over it paymaya
I’m sure he’s getting every bit of support that he needs,” Wigglesworth said paymaya
“I’m not sure you can ever put yourself in those shoes and know that feeling paymaya

“It will be dealt with by World Rugby paymaya
We get stuck into our prep for Argentina paymaya
The process is the process and we have no knowledge of how long that will go on for or the outcome, but we have to get ready for Argentina paymaya

“Hopefully there’s not much in it paymaya
I’m sure that post-World Cup and down the line we’ll find out if there is paymaya
