Owen Farrell, England’s captain, is on the edge of anticipation as he is slated to receive news today regarding his potential absence from the critical World Cup opener against Argentina.
The outcome of his participation in the entire pool stage hangs in the balance after he was shown a red card for a dangerous tackle in the match against Wales.
The incident in question involved Farrell executing a shoulder-led challenge to the head of Taine Basham, a back-rower, during England’s 19-17 victory at Twickenham.
The gravity of the situation was escalated when the TMO bunker review system upgraded the initial yellow card to a red card offense.
A significant development is set to unfold as Farrell is scheduled to appear before a video disciplinary hearing, commencing this morning, where the length of his suspension will be determined.
The context surrounding his actions is crucial as Farrell had previously been handed a three-match ban for a similar offense in January.
Furthermore, his disciplinary history includes a record of five matches in 2020 and two in 2016.
Given this history, there is skepticism about the possibility of leniency in his case.
England’s preparations for the World Cup consist of matches against Ireland and Fiji, finalizing their warm-up schedule before the official group campaign commences.
The pivotal group clash against Argentina is scheduled to take place in Marseille on September 9, marking the launch of England’s journey in the World Cup.
