A statement from World Rugby said: "The player accepted that foul play occurred and that the offence warranted a red card. England are already without captain Owen Farrell and number eight Billy Vunipola for the Japan game as they serve out the final game of their suspensions. Curry's was their fourth red in six matches, though Freddie Steward's against Ireland in the Six Nations was rescinded. Earlier on Tuesday England assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth said the red card was the result of a "fast-moving game." “You will appreciate that I can’t talk around this instance or any other that may affect pre-hearing,” he said.
