England winger Arundel is free to play against Ireland

England winger Henry Arundel is available for Saturday’s Six Nations clash with Ireland at Twickenham following his red card last weekend.

The 23-year-old held a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday after picking up two yellow cards in the 31-20 Six Nations defeat to Scotland.

Arundel was faulted for not releasing his opponent early in the match and then received a second yellow card for knocking Kyle Steyn out of the air.

The Bath winger received an automatic red card for 20 minutes meaning his team-mates were down to 14 men for 30 minutes.

The hearing concluded that “no other punishment was appropriate.”

A statement said: “The player admitted that he committed wrongdoing that led to the two yellow cards being shown.

“In these circumstances (including the issuance of the first yellow card for a ‘technical infringement’, and the issuance of the second yellow card for a completely different foul), [it was decided that] “Sending the player off was punishment enough.”

Arundel scored four tries in two matches – a hat-trick against Wales and England’s opening try at Murrayfield.

He could still be replaced by Tommy Freeman or Elliot Daly when the squad is announced later on Tuesday.

Emmanuel Faye-Wabuso is likely to miss the rest of the tournament due to injury.
