Overview

  • Feyi-Waboso was sent off less than 40 minutes into the uncapped Test against France after striking Antoine Hastoy in the head with a swinging arm during a tackle.
  • An independent foul play review committee judged the tackle to carry a high degree of danger and imposed a three-match suspension, reduced to two upon completion of a coaching intervention programme.
  • The 22-year-old Exeter Chiefs winger will miss both Tests in Argentina in July but is eligible to return for England’s match against the United States on July 19 in Washington, D.C.
  • His setback follows a December shoulder dislocation that ruled him out of the Six Nations and cost him a place in the British and Irish Lions squad.
  • France’s Cameron Woki was also shown a red card in the 26-24 defeat at Twickenham and has been referred to a disciplinary committee for a separate hearing.
