Tom Curry will miss England's next two Rugby World Cup matches after his red card in Saturday's 27-10 win over Argentina.

Curry faced a disciplinary hearing last night and has been ruled out of the Pool C matches against Japan next Monday and Chile on 23 September.

The Sale back row was initially shown a yellow card after making head-to-head contact in a tackle with Juan Cruz Mallia inside the first three minutes.

It was later upgraded to a red following a 'bunker' review.

The independent disciplinary committee imposed a ban of three matches on the flanker - but that is reduced to two games if he completes the World Rugby coaching programme on tackling.

Captain Owen Farrell will miss the Japan match because of the suspension resulting from his red card against Wales in a warm-up game in August.

However, number eight Billy Vunipola has completed his ban after his recent dismissal against Ireland and is available for selection against the Brave Blossoms.

England will play Japan at 7am next Monday.
