Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been banned for two matches following his sending-off in England’s 26-24 defeat to a France XV on Saturday.

A three-match ban, which will be reduced to two matches subject to completing a tackle course, will rule him out of England’s two-Test series against Argentina next month.

Subject to the ban being reduced, Feyi-Waboso will be free to return for England’s third match against the USA in Washington, but could now be cut from England coach Steve Borthwick’s final squad which will be announced on Monday.

The Exeter winger, who was returning from a six-month injury lay-off, was initially yellow-carded for a high tackle on Antoine Hastoy, but it was upgraded to a red on review.

An independent disciplinary panel found that Feyi-Waboso’s actions carried “a high degree of danger” and confirmed that he had accepted the sanction.
