"Even if they were running into each other and he was upright, you are running the risk of a head collusion... at the time, I was like, 'That's an accident' but you look at the framework [for cards] and what World Rugby are trying to do [for player welfare]."https://twitter.com/RTErugby/status/1700605472082928022 Over on ITV, however, the all English panel of Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio and Clive Woodward all felt Tom Curry had been hard done-by. "I've played a fair bit of rugby," said Dallaglio, "and I've been covering it for years... to me, that is a rugby incident and an accident." https://twitter.com/dallaglio8/status/1700597980909244576 https://twitter.com/EnRJay/status/1700600707412292095 As it turned out, England coped very well without Tom Curry. George Ford was their talisman, kicking three first half drop goals and a handful of penalties as Englands defeated a woeful Argentina side 27-10, in Marseille. That red card for Curry is England's third in their last five games, with Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola carrying bans into the tournament. https://twitter.com/ITVRugby/status/1700600602097537192
