England coach being investigated

LONDON— Organizers of the Rugby World Cup are investigating whether a member of England’s coaching team approached a match official during the team’s loss to Australia on Saturday that knocked out the host nation. World Rugby says the alleged incident would breach a protocol prohibiting coaches approaching officials during a match or at halftime. The coach was not identified in a statement. England dropped to No. 8 in the world rankings Monday, matching its lowest-ever position.
