Billy Vunipola and Owen Farrell will miss England's opening Rugby World Cup match against Argentina after being handed bans following their red cards in warm-up fixtures.
Vunipola was sent off against Ireland last weekend and has been banned for three matches, but it will be reduced to two if he agrees to attend tackling school.That would mean Vunipola, the only out-and-out No 8 head coach Steve Borthwick opted for in his squad, just misses England's first group game against the Pumas.
The appeal committee found that the original hearing had not considered Farrell's failure to wrap when attempting the tackle, which had formed a key part of the bunker review system's analysis when upgrading from yellow to red.'The appeal committee unanimously determined that in the original hearing the disciplinary committee should have considered the attempt of the player to wrap his opponent in the tackle.
