Henry Arundell was shown two yellow cards at Murrayfield ()The second incident was looked at by the foul play review officer to consider an upgrade to a red card, but remained a yellow. The two yellow cards nonetheless resulted in a 20-minute red, with England replacing Arundell with Fin Smith and reshuffling their backline following that time period. Arundell appeared in front of a disciplinary panel convened by the Six Nations on Tuesday morning, and has been cleared of further sanction. Arundell is thus free to play immediately.
