England captain Owen Farrell has been cleared to play at the 2023 Rugby World Cup after his red card against Wales was rescinded at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Farrell was facing a potential six-week ban that would have ruled him out of the start of next month's World Cup after he was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Taine Basham on Saturday.
However, an all-Australian disciplinary panel ruled that the foul play review officer "was wrong, on the balance of probabilities, to upgrade the yellow card issued to the player to a red card."
