A top rugby player has been banned from coaching children after luring two underage girls into lesbian relationships.

Tricia Brown, 31, will not be able to interact with teenage or child rugby players under the ban imposed by the Australian Rugby Union, the Courier Mail reports.

But Ms Brown will be permitted continue playing rugby and is expected to play in the World Cup later this year.

"Having finalised that review, ARU has decided not to impose any playing ban on Tricia Brown," said the rugby body’s spokesman Peter Jenkins.

The investigation came after Ms Brown was earlier this year revealed to have courted two Year 12 girls into sexual relationships at schools in Brisbane.

The 2009 Women's Rugby Union Player of the Year allegedly took one of the girls to gay nightclubs and gave her racy portraits of herself.

The Queensland College of Teachers at the time labelled Ms Brown’s actions "predatory".

The Queensland Rugby Union has supported the ARU’s decision to allow Ms Brown to keep playing.
