Tom Curry ban hearing live updates as England star learns Rugby World Cup fate

England's Tom Curry will appear before an independent judicial committee in Paris today after receiving a red card in the game against Argentina for a dangerous tackle on Juan Cruz Mallia.

The card was upgraded from yellow to red following a review by the foul play review officer in England’s Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool D match in Marseille on Saturday, September 9.

World Rugby said the hearing will take place on Tuesday evening (September 12) and Curry will attend in person as England seek a favourable outcome to his dismissal after a clash of heads with Mallia.

Curry's red card meant Steve Borthwick's side played all but three minutes of the Pool D opener at Stade Velodrome with 14 men, yet they rose to the challenge to produce a resilient display to win 27-10.

The Sale flanker, who was making his first appearance since the autumn because of hamstring and ankle injuries, is facing a suspension in the region of three matches, which is likely to be reduced by one if he attends tackle school.

The independent judicial committee that will hear the matter will be chaired by Adam Casselden SC (Australia), joined by former players John Langford (Australia) and Jamie Corsi (Wales).
