England captain Owen Farrell has been suspended for four matches - meaning he will miss the first two games of the Rugby World Cup.

He had been given a red card for a tackle deemed dangerous during a Wales game earlier this month - but this was downgraded to yellow. World Rugby subsequently appealed this decision, and an independent disciplinary hearing has now upheld the red card.
