England without their captain for potential Grand Slam decider in Dublin

McLean pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted she had committed an act of foul play which was worth of a red card.

“The Disciplinary Committee, chaired by Roger Morris (Wales), alongside Jennifer Donovan (Ireland) and Julien Berenger (France), having reviewed the footage of the incident and all other evidence, as well as hearing submissions from the player and her representatives, categorised the offending as mid-range, which carries a six week entry point in World Rugby’s sanction table,” a Six Nations statement read.

RUCK QUIZZES:

• Can you name EVERY England captain since 2000?

• Which rugby position should I play?

• How closely were you watching the weekend’s Six Nations games?

• The TOUGHEST rugby Kit quiz you’ll find…

“The Committee further determined that there were no aggravating factors and the player had met all mitigating factors permitted, and therefore decided to reduce the entry point by three weeks.”

England have won all three games and currently top the table from Ireland on points difference.
