Warner’s wife denies feud

Candice Warner, wife of test opener David Warner, has slammed rumours of a feud between herself and skipper Michael Clarke’s wife Kyly, while going in to bat for the Wags.

News Corp has reported Australia’s tour had been dogged by off-field dramas which included bad-blood between two unnamed Wags (wives and girlfriends), with Candice and Kyly eventually named.
