England scrum-half Danny Care has warned "no one is above the law" after Manu Tuilagi and Denny Solomona were sent home from an international training camp.
Leicester centre Tuilagi and Sale wing Solomona went back to their clubs over "team culture issues" for what Sky Sports News understands was an alcohol-related issue.
Tuilagi was back in the England squad having not started a game for his country in four years after battling to overcome serious knee and groin problems.
But Harlequins player Care - who replaced Tuilagi at England's kit launch on Monday - insists all Eddie Jones' players are aware of the standards they must set if they are to retain their place in the international set-up.
"It's something that Eddie has dealt with. They've breached the code of conduct that the players try and live by," said Care.
"It shows that no one is above the law. That's the way it has been since Eddie has taken over.
"He knows the strength in depth there is in the country at the moment and the number of players he can pick from, so you don't want to make many mistakes because you never know what's going to happen.
"There's a code of conduct we're all signed up for and if you choose to bend the rules or break them, you know the coach will make a decision.
"As players, it's about making the right decisions at the right time. We're given a lot of licence by the coaches to make the right decisions.
"People know what is right and wrong and what to do at the right time and whatever happened last night [Sunday] wasn't the right time."
Tuilagi has been in trouble with the authorities before, having been cautioned by police and fined £3000 for jumping off a ferry in Auckland during the 2011 World Cup, while he has previously served a five-week ban for punching England team-mate Chris Ashton.
