Manu Tuilagi will be available for England’s final Guinness Six Nations match against Ireland after being given a reduced three-match ban for dangerous play.
Tuilagi was sent off for an elbow to the head of Tommy Freeman in Sale’s Gallagher Premiership defeat at Northampton on Saturday.
A disciplinary hearing issued a four-game ban that will drop to three if he completes World Rugby’s coaching intervention school.
The length of the ban means he will miss England’s fixtures against Wales on Saturday and France a fortnight later, but he will return in time for the game against Ireland on March 18th.
