Rugby World Cup 2023: Owen Farrell red card appealed by World Rugby

By Score More * World Rugby is set to contest the decision that reversed the red card issued to England captain Owen Farrell during the match against Wales. Originally shown a yellow card, Farrell's penalty was elevated to a red card through the new 'bunker' review system due to a high tackle incident. However, a disciplinary panel assessed the situation on Tuesday and identified mitigating factors, leading to the reversal of the dismissal. World Rugby, emphasizing player welfare as its foremost priority, expressed its intention to appeal this decision in a statement. Should World Rugby's appeal prove successful, Farrell would miss a significant portion of England's World Cup pool stage matches. In England's recent 19-17 victory over Wales, Farrell became the first English player to ...

Ireland’s rugby team beat England 29-16 to clinch Six Nations Grand Slam

Ireland completed their fourth-ever Six Nations Grand Slam with a 29-16 victory over England at a pulsating Aviva Stadium on Saturday, emphatically underlining their status as the world's top-ranked team heading into September's World Cup. The script could not have been better prepared, a chance to seal a first Grand Slam in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day weekend; and Ireland delivered, although it was nervier than they would have liked against an England side reduced to 14 men for the entire second half. The English were within one point of an upset with 20 minutes to go but late tries from Robbie Henshaw, Rob Herring, and a second for man-of-the-match Dan Sheehan made sure of Ireland's 15th championship and fifth since 2009. “You couldn't make it up, it's like living in a dream. We didn'...
