No further sanction for wing after red against Scotland
Steve Borthwick set to name team on Tuesday afternoon
The England wing Henry Arundell has escaped a ban for his red card against Scotland at the weekend after the disciplinary panel determined that his sending off was sufficient punishment.
Arundell is now available for selection against Ireland on Saturday but it remains to be seen if Borthwick will pick the Bath flyer after his disappointing outing at Murrayfield. It is understood the head coach was waiting on the outcome of the verdict to have “the full picture” before finalising his team selection.
Arundell was facing a ban after tournament organisers confirmed that his sending off for two yellow cards triggered the disciplinary process. His first yellow card was for not releasing when making a covering tackle on Rory Darge in the seventh minute of Scotland’s 31-20 victory, his second was for taking Kyle Steyn out in the air in the 37th minute.
