Arundell Escapes Ban After Red Card Drama
17 Feb
Summary
- Henry Arundell will play against Ireland after avoiding a ban.
- He received two yellow cards, resulting in a red card, during the match.
- A disciplinary hearing deemed the sending-off sufficient sanction.
Henry Arundell will be available for England's upcoming Six Nations match against Ireland. This follows a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday that concluded no further sanction was necessary after he was sent off during the recent game against Scotland. The England winger had received two yellow cards in the first half of the Calcutta Cup defeat at Murrayfield. The second yellow card resulted in a 20-minute red card, which triggered a citing process.
However, the independent disciplinary panel decided that the initial sending-off was sufficient punishment. Consequently, Arundell avoids a ban and can participate in Saturday's fixture against Ireland. The match in question was England's 31-20 loss to Scotland, a significant event in the Six Nations championship.
