England’s Rugby World Cup ambitions could be badly dented on Tuesday with two key players facing sanctions that may rule them out of the opening weeks of the tournament in France.
Any potential sanction could be announced straight after Tuesday's hearing or on Wednesday, leaving England to sweat over the fate of the only true number eight named in their 33-man squad for the tournament, which kicks off on Sept. 8. It means the England captain faces an independent disciplinary panel for the second time in a week, amid widespread criticism of the initial decision on one hand and condemnation of the coverage of the case on the other.
As it is, the team are reeling from a raft of negative headlines, with Tuesday’s Times saying:"England at lowest ebb before the Rugby World Cup".
