"Steve Borthwick is facing a selection headache as England seek to get their Six Nations campaign back on track against Ireland on Saturday, with Henry Arundell set for disciplinary action after his red card against Scotland. England have promised an honest and emotional review into their dismal Calcutta Cup defeat before Borthwick decides how to configure his backline against Ireland, with Arundell facing the prospect of a suspension for his two yellow cards against Scotland."
"Tournament organisers have confirmed that a red card accrued for receiving two yellows will trigger the disciplinary process. Arundell's first yellow was shown for not releasing, the second for taking out Kyle Steyn in the air. Borthwick's wing options are already depleted with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso nursing a hamstring injury, and Arundell's expected unavailability would leave the head coach without any express pace for the visit of Andy Farrell's side."
Steve Borthwick faces a selection headache as England prepare to play Ireland, with Henry Arundell likely to face disciplinary action and suspension after receiving two yellow cards that led to a red. Tournament organisers confirm a red card from two yellows will trigger the disciplinary process. Arundell received one yellow for not releasing and a second for taking out Kyle Steyn in the air. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is nursing a hamstring injury, leaving England short of pace on the wings. Options include Elliot Daly, Cadan Murley, moving Tommy Freeman to wing with Ollie Lawrence at outside-centre, or selecting Marcus Smith and George Furbank for creativity. Scotland ended England's 12-match winning run and ended the grand slam pursuit; England must beat Ireland, who beat Italy, to keep realistic title hopes alive.
