Feyi-Waboso sees red as France beat England in unofficial Test
Neither nation was at full strength for the non-capped clash. England were without 13 players selected in the British and Irish Lions squad, while those involved in the Top 14 semi-finals were unavailable for the visitors. Feyi-Waboso was well in contention for the Lions tour to Australia until dislocating his shoulder in December. The Exeter winger could now also miss some of England's tour of Argentina and the United States next month should he be banned after catching Antoine Hastoy on the head, which was upgraded to a 20-minute red card on review. "This is a good guy who just tries his heart out and has left the field today and it didn't go the way he wanted it to, so he's gutted in the changing room," said England coach Steve Borthwick. "Everyone will get around him and we'll find out about what the situation is in the next 24 hours." England still looked set for victory as they led 24-12 heading into the final 10 minutes thanks to tries from Tom Willis, Alex Coles, Joe Carpenter and Alex Dombrandt. However, France rallied to win the game with the final kick of the match. Paul Mallez cut the deficit before Romain Taofifenua bulldozed over to tie the scores with the clock in the red. Hastoy kicked the conversion to secure victory in front of a crowd of just over 34,000. England will face Argentina, who beat the Lions 28-24 in Dublin on Friday, in a two-Test series in July before facing the USA in Washington DC.

France XV fight back to secure 26-24 win over England XV
LONDON :A try after the hooter by Romain Taofifenua gave France XV a 26-24 victory over their English counterparts in a non-cap match at Twickenham on Saturday, as winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso made a disappointing return from injury. Taofifenua burrowed over the try-line after England had led 24-12 with five minutes remaining but could not keep the visitors at bay in a game featuring four tries and a red card for each side. The match served as a warm-up for England's tour of Argentina and the United States, while France are preparing for three tests in New Zealand next month. France scored two early tries as hooker Gaetan Barlot crossed in the corner after breaking away from a driving maul, and lock Hugo Auradou burst into the England 22 after the visitors turned the ball over at the breakdown. England grew into the game, however, and after incessant pressure in the French 22, number eight Tom Willis scored in the corner before lock Alex Coles took a pop-pass from centre Seb Atkinson to cross the line. Feyi-Waboso, playing his first game since December after recovering from an injury, made two simple handling errors before receiving a 30-minute red card just past the half-hour mark. He was penalised for a high tackle as his arm struck the head of French flyhalf Antoine Hastoy. Initially a yellow card, it was upgraded to red on bunker review. Despite their numerical disadvantage, England led 19-12 at halftime when another strong carry from Atkinson broke the French defensive line and his pass to Joe Carpenter set up another try. Following a red card for French forward Cameron Woki, upgraded from yellow on bunker review, England added a fourth try when replacement loose-forward Alex Dombrandt went over in the corner. France had the advantage in the forwards, however, and powered over for two more tries with Taofifenua's effort converted by Hastoy to secure victory for the French.

Watch: Immanuel Feyi-Waboso shown red card after horror high tackle
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's first game since December ended in a red card after he was sent off with just 33 minutes on the clock for a reckless high tackle on Antoine Hastoy in the uncapped fixture between England and France at Twickenham. The incident will now lead to a suspension that could wipe out any prospect of Feyi-Waboso touring this summer. The Exeter Chiefs wing, featuring in his first match of any kind since dislocating his shoulder in a Premiership encounter against Sale Sharks on December 21 last year, was chasing his own grubber when Hastoy received an in-field pass from Maël Moustin. Feyi-Waboso tracked the ball and stayed upright, his right arm swinging into the head of Hastoy. Referee Hollie Davidson whistled for a penalty immediately and initially showed a yellow card to Feyi-Waboso while referring the incident to her bunker official. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's tackle. #ENGvFRA — Jared Wright (@jaredwright17) June 21, 2025 There, it was upgraded to a 20-minute red card, meaning that Steve Borthwick was able to replace Feyi-Waboso after that amount of time. It is likely that he will face a two-week sanction at the very least. That would be dependent on the challenge being categorised as a low-entry offence and Feyi-Waboso having his punishment reduced by a week thanks to World Rugby's coaching intervention programme, commonly known as 'tackle school'. In theory, that would leave him eligible to face USA on July 19 after the two-Test series against Argentina. The 22-year-old could face a longer ban if the tackle is deemed to be a mid-range offence. Hastoy stayed on the pitch and did not require a head injury assessment, though Feyi-Waboso's lack of control and his speed upon colliding with the Frenchman will be factored into any decision. Earlier in the game, Feyi-Waboso had spilled the ball with his first two touches, the first one over the France try-line as he was put in space on the left wing. Indeed, his red card caps a difficult campaign. As a player to hold an enhanced elite player squad (EPS) contract, his medical care should be managed carefully by England. Confusion over whether Feyi-Waboso should undergo surgery for his shoulder injury, with England initially hopeful that he could appear in this season's Six Nations, led to a longer lay-off and left him without a match between December and June.
