Rugby union's governing body has until Friday to lodge an appeal against the decision to overturn the England captain's red card
The foul-play review officer, South Africa’s Marius van der Westhuizen, said “red”, and then three days later a judicial committee of three Australians – a Senior Counsel and two former international players – said “yellow”.
Van der Westhuizen told this newspaper ahead of the Farrell hearing that the bunker is “giving the ultimate luxury of time to make the best decision available”. “I noticed that again at the weekend – you are sat on the bench watching the game and you think you have a good picture of what is going on, and then you get out there in the middle and it’s 100 miles per hour from all directions.”
