England supremo Martin Johnson is facing serious disciplinary action from the Rugby Football Union after revealing he is unable to travel on England's 2010 summer tour to Australia.
In a shocking admission - which in the worst case scenario could even see him lose his job - Johnson informed the RFU's director of elite rugby Rob Andrew this week that he had double booked his family summer holidays with England's tour Down Under.
England are under huge pressure to turn around their fortunes and perform at the 2011 World Cup and the latest administrative error will seriously disrupt the team's planning and preparation.
"I can't believe I could have been so stupid," said the former World Cup winning captain, "I could have sworn we weren't playing anywhere this summer, let alone Australia. When my wife asked me to book a trip to Disneyland, Florida for me and the extended family for June the whole England tour just completely slipped my mind."
