The captain was initially sin-binned for his shocking no-arms tackle on Taine Basham.

But after an off-field video review, the punishment was upgraded to a red.
Farrell will now be sweating over a possible ban just four weeks before England face Argentina – with the Saracens star desperately close to overtaking Jonny Wilkinson as England’s all-time top points scorer.
And that poured more misery on England on a nightmare evening at Twickenham which saw their ill-discipline cost them heavily against the neighbours before George Ford’s dramatic late penalty snatched an unconvincing 19-17 victory.
