The XV of the Rose returned to victory by beating Wales 19 to 17 on Saturday at Twickenham. A meeting marked by the indiscipline of the English, reduced to 12 in the middle of the second period after having received three yellow cards in seven minutes.

For the captain, Owen Farrell, the yellow was even transformed into red after watching the action in the bunker. The England fly-half is summoned to the Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday “for foul play” and could miss the start of the World Cup if suspended for more than two matches.
