The Australian Rugby Union has confirmed it is conducting ''inquiries'' into a possible breach of a team's rule and the players' code of conduct.
The ARU remains tight-lipped about whether the incident potentially involves the Wallabies, a Super 14 team or a lower level side but reports have suggest that four leading players are involved.
''We're currently conducting inquiries into potential breaches around team protocol and/or the code of conduct,'' an ARU spokesmantold AAP.
''At this stage those inquiries are continuing.
''We won't be commenting further or going into detail while we're doing that.''
Meanwhile,Wallabies medical staff have begun assessing Australia's Tri-Nations stocks ahead of the naming of a squad for the tournament next week.
Rocky Elsom (leg), Wycliff Palu (hand) and under 20 World Cup star Rob Horne (hamstring) were checked on Wednesday, while Kurtley Beale (hamstring) is another who will be assessed.
Palu is expected to play club rugby this weekend, while doubt persists over when Elsom will be recovered from bone bruising.
''With all those boys, we're just in constant dialogue with them,'' Wallabies assistant Richard Graham said.
