England got their revenge against Wales (19-17) in a World Cup warm-up match marked by numerous incidents on the pitch, injuries and yellow cards – including a red card for captain Owen Farrell which could earn the England star a suspension for the first game of the World Cup next month.
England led 6-0 at half-time thanks to two penalties from Farrell in a boring game that went completely wild in the second half with the visitors’ first try (61st) followed by another, penalty (65th). ). England received three yellow cards before Farrell was sent off in the 71st minute, just after an English try scored by Itoje (69th). A penalty in the 79th from Ford allowed Steve Borthwick’s men to snatch victory on the wire (19-17).
