Feyi-Waboso banned for England tour to Argentina

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss England's two-match series in Argentina next month after being handed a two-game ban on Sunday for his red card in an uncapped Test against France.

Text size:

The Exeter wing was making his return from dislocating his shoulder in December, which cost him the chance of making the British and Irish Lions squad.

But Feyi-Waboso lasted less than 40 minutes as he caught Antoine Hastoy on the head while trying to retrieve the ball from his own kick.

The incident was upgraded to a 20-minute red card on review.

An independent foul play review committee ruled on Sunday that the tackle carried a high degree of danger and imposed a three-match ban, reduced to two should Feyi-Waboso complete a coaching intervention programme.

He could therefore return for England's clash against the USA on July 19 in Washington DC.

France's Cameron Woki was also shown a red card in Les Bleus 26-24 victory at Twickenham and has been referred to a disciplinary committee for a hearing on Tuesday.
