Farrell WILL be available for England’s World Cup opener as red card overturned

OWEN FARRELL has had his red card against Wales overturned following a review.

The England captain will be available to play in their Rugby World Cup opener against Argentina on September 9.

Farrell was initially sin-binned for a high tackle on Taine Basham during the match at Twickenham on Saturday.

The punishment was then upgraded to a red card after on off-field video review, leaving England without their captain.

Despite Farrell’s absence, which left England with just 12 players at one point, the hosts went on to win the match 19-17 as they continued their preparations for the tournament.
