Owen Farrell ban hearing live updates as England captain learns World Cup fate after red card

The Owen Farrell red card saga appears to finally be approaching a conclusion.

It was a yellow on the field against Wales at Twickenham, then upgraded to a red via the off-field TMO review bunker, then downgraded to a yellow again at a disciplinary hearing a week ago. Then World Rugby appealed that decision, meaning the England captain faces a fresh disciplinary today.

He remains in line for a potential ban which could see him miss the start of the Rugby World Cup, with England's campaign kicking off against Argentina on September 9.

Farrell is due to appear in front of a three-person panel via video link later today, where he will find out what will happen next.

It comes on the same day England back-rower Billy Bunipola goes before disciplinary chiefs after his red card against Ireland. Follow live updates on Vunipola here.
