England wing Henry Arundell has been backed to “play super well” in Saturday’s Six Nations clash with Ireland at Twickenham after keeping his place despite a red card last weekend.<\/b><\/p>\n
Coach Steve Borthwick has kept faith with the 23-year-old after he was shown two yellow cards in the 31-20 Six Nations defeat by Scotland.<\/p>\n
Arundell was sin-binned for not releasing his opponent early on in the match and then received a second yellow for taking out Kyle Steyn in the air.<\/p>\n
The Bath wing received an automatic 20-minute red card that meant his team-mates played with 14 men for a total of 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Borthwick has made three changes to his starting XV for the Ireland game but kept faith with the exciting wing.<\/p>\n
He said: “Saturday [against Scotland] didn’t go the way he wanted it to, the way I wanted it to go for him, and he was bitterly disappointed as we all were. Now we back him to go and play super well this weekend.<\/p>\n
“I want the ball in his hands. Every England supporter will want the ball in his hands in a bit of space this weekend.”<\/p>\n
A disciplinary hearing on Tuesday found that “no further sanction was appropriate”, freeing Arundell to play.<\/p>\n
A statement said: “The player accepted that he had committed the acts of foul play that resulted in the showing of the two yellow cards.<\/p>\n
“In the circumstances (including that the first yellow card had been issued for a ‘technical offence’, and that the second yellow card had been issued for a very different act of foul play), [it was decided that] the sending off of the player had been a sufficient sanction.”<\/p>\n
Arundell has scored four tries in two games – a hat-trick against Wales and England’s opening try at Murrayfield – and is the top scorer in the Six Nations so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
