ENGLAND CAPTAIN OWEN Farrell was left out of the squad to play Ireland on Saturday by coach Steve Borthwick with the out-half set to face an independent appeal committee early next week.
The 31-year-old Farrell was facing a six-week ban that could have ruled him out of the start of the World Cup. “However, in light of the fact that so much of Owen’s training and match preparation time this week has been significantly affected and interrupted by the disciplinary process, I have not selected him in the matchday 23.Borthwick, himself a former England captain, added: “Owen understands the situation, but is of course disappointed, as I am, that he is missing such a special game that he would otherwise have played in.
