England winger Feyi-Waboso suspended from 2-test series in Argentina
DUBLIN (AP) — England will debate the worth of taking Immanuel Feyi-Waboso on its Americas tour next month after the winger received a two-match suspension on Sunday. Feyi-Waboso was sent off during the England XV's 26-24 loss to a France XV on Saturday at Twickenham. He caught Antoine Hastoy in the head with a swinging right arm in an attempted first-half tackle. His yellow card was upgraded on review to a 20-minute red card. A World Rugby disciplinary hearing confirmed it was a dangerous tackle and suspended Feyi-Waboso for both of England's tests in Argentina on July 5 and 12. He will be available for the test against the United States on July 19 in Washington, D.C., if he completes World Rugby's tackle school. Saturday's game was Feyi-Waboso's first action since December, when he dislocated his shoulder. He missed the Six Nations and a possible place in the British and Irish Lions squad. England is set to name its touring squad on Monday. France lock Cameron Woki, who was sent off in the same game for an illegal clearout, will have his hearing on Tuesday. ___ AP rugby:

Feyi-Waboso sees red before France XV stun England XV at the last
In the end, they could not even come away with the win. On a thoroughly muted afternoon in a stadium barely a third full, an England XV contrived to lose to a France XV even further from full strength than their hosts. Romain Taofifénua crashed over from close range to clinch the match with an equally uninspiring try. Worse, England will lose the services of a player only just making his comeback from a long absence. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's wild tackle on Antoine Hastoy in the first half earned him a 20-minute red card and with it a likely ban. England's wing had not been ruled out of contention for the Lions' trip to Australia, but now even a place on England's three-match tour of Argentina and US must be in doubt. Sign up to The Breakdown The latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewed after newsletter promotion On an unfortunate day for officialdom, France also played 20 minutes reduced to 14, when Cameron Woki was punished for his clear-out on Jamie George midway through the second. Both sides upped their game, scoring a try apiece while at a disadvantage. Their opponents seemed to go flat in response. By the time Taofifénua scored his try, after some uncomplicated French battering off a penalty kicked to the corner, in the third minute after the clock turned red, France were back to a full complement. They started and finished the contest in the ascendant. Early tries by Nolann le Garrec and Gaëtan Barlot, earned them a 12-0 lead, but England responded with 24 unanswered points, through tries by Tom Willis, Alex Coles, Joe Carpenter and Alex Dombrandt. England seemed to be cruising on the hour, but France cranked up their big guns. Paul Mallez scored with five minutes remaining in much the same fashion as Taofifénua would – from close range. And so Steve Borthwick had some thinking to do.
