England centre Piers Francis tackle has got everyone talking, with a number of fans thinking he was lucky to get away with this ugly hit against the USA straight off the kick-off…
First tackle of the game… Exactly the same points of contact as Reece Hodge tackle…

So that’s got to be 3 weeks for Piers Francis, @rugbyworldcup? Can’t not be, you’ve set the precedent. #ENGvUSA pic.twitter.com/z7r7sMkC2J
So World Rugby, if Reece Hodge gets three weeks what does Piers Francis get for this? Direct contact to the head. Any chance of any consistency? Probably not #RWC pic.twitter.com/llSBRJfT4W
