Vunipola’s red card worsens England‘s situation.
Following Billy Vunipola’s dismissal against Ireland, England head coach Steve Borthwick may face additional disciplinary-based disruptions this week, casting further doubt on Owen Farrell’s ability to play in the World Cup.

After a review, Vunipola, a teammate of Farrell’s from Saracens, received a red card for his high tackle on Andrew Porter in the second half.

The possibility of missing two important players for a portion of England’s pool matches has forced Borthwick, who would not specifically address the Vunipola incident, to face a crucial week in his preparations. This will undoubtedly dominate the lead-up to Saturday’s Test match at Twickenham against Fiji.

For Borthwick and his coaching staff, a potential six-game suspension would be a major concern because Vunipola is the only specialist number eight in the England side.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to address both problems this week and it won’t require another week. The facts will be deal with once I know them all, said Borthwick.

We discusse how this Test week was impact by the Farrell story and how I need to adjust during the week. We still have a challenge ahead of us.
Centurion Earls’ stars are aligned.
From an Irish perspective, the crowd’s deafening yell when Keith Earls crashed over in the corner to seal Ireland’s victory and seal the game was without a doubt the most unforgettable moment.

Given that Ireland won the Grand Slam at home in March, it was as noisy as the Aviva had been throughout the entire year.

At the conclusion of a match in which Ireland’s starting wings Mack Hansen and James Lowe scored tries, Earls, who has been a fixture on the Irish scene for 15 years and hopes to play in a fourth World Cup, provided an exhilarating reminder of what he can do out wide.
