England wing Henry Arundell will face a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday after his red card in the 31-20 Six Nations defeat by Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arundell was sin-binned for not releasing his opponent early on in the match and then received a second yellow for taking out Kyle Steyn in the air.<\/p>\n

The Bath wing received an automatic 20-minute red card that meant his team-mates played with 14 men for a total of 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has scored four tries in two games – a hat-trick against Wales and England’s opening try at Murrayfield.<\/p>\n

Arundell’s decision-making was criticised by former England scrum-half Matt Dawson in his column for BBC Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Henry is a 23-year-old and will, of course, bounce back, but it was reckless and a poor decision,” said Dawson.<\/p>\n

“What if that had been a championship decider or a World Cup knockout game? You have to make good decisions under pressure.”<\/p>\n

England head coach Steve Borthwick is already without injured wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso but has options for Saturday’s match against Ireland should Arundell be banned.<\/p>\n

Borthwick could promote Elliot Daly or Cadan Murley into his starting XV at Allianz Stadium.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, he could move Tommy Freeman back to the wing and recall Ollie Lawrence at outside centre.<\/p>\n

England’s humbling defeat at Murrayfield – which snapped a 12-match winning streak – was a blow to their hopes of a first Six Nations title since 2020. They are third in the standings with trips away to play Italy and France still to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England wing Henry Arundell will face a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday after his red card in the 31-20…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-429714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
