England Star Escapes Six Nations Ban
17 Feb
Summary
- Henry Arundell is available for England's Six Nations match.
- His red card from the Scotland match was deemed a sufficient sanction.
- Arundell has scored four tries in his last two games.
England winger Henry Arundell is eligible to feature in Saturday's Six Nations fixture against Ireland at Twickenham. This follows a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday regarding the two yellow cards he received during England's 31-20 loss to Scotland last weekend.
The 23-year-old was initially sin-binned for failing to release an opponent and later for tackling an airborne Kyle Steyn. These infractions led to an automatic red card, meaning England played with 14 men for a significant portion of the match.
The disciplinary panel concluded that the sending-off was a sufficient sanction, and no additional penalties were warranted. A statement noted that Arundell accepted committing the foul play that led to the yellow cards, with the panel considering the nature of both offenses.
Arundell has an impressive try-scoring record, having crossed the whitewash four times in his last two appearances, including a hat-trick against Wales and England's opening try in the Scotland game. Despite his availability, his starting position is not guaranteed, with Tommy Freeman and Elliot Daly also in contention for selection. Meanwhile, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament due to injury.
