Henry Arundell Cleared to Face Ireland After Murrayfield Red Card

A Six Nations disciplinary committee ruled the sending-off was sufficient punishment, keeping the England wing eligible for selection.

Overview

  • An independent panel imposed no further sanction after reviewing Arundell’s dismissal against Scotland.
  • The England wing was sent off following two first-half yellow cards for failing to release at a ruck and for contact in the air with Kyle Steyn.
  • The second incident was evaluated by the foul play review officer for a possible upgrade but remained a yellow.
  • England played 30 minutes with 14 men in the 31-20 defeat at Murrayfield, a loss that ended a 12-match winning run, and Steve Borthwick said the numerical disadvantage proved costly.
  • Arundell is immediately available for selection for Saturday’s Ireland match, and reports indicate Borthwick may consider backline and bench changes with Ollie Lawrence, George Furbank and Elliot Daly mentioned.
