Back in the spotlight

Chris Foy, of the Daily Mail, looks at a bad weekend of ill-discipline by some of England's players.

"Four of England’s disastrous World Cup squad will find out on Monday whether they could be banned for more indiscipline in Premiership matches over the weekend.

The worst incident involved England winger Chris Ashton, who sparked a fight on the touchline at Leicester’s 30-25 win against Northampton by grabbing hold of Alesana Tuilagi by the dreadlocks and shirt and dragging him into the advertising boards.

But Ashton’s tackle went unpunished while Tuilagi and England captaincy candidate Tom Wood were shown red cards for their parts in the 14th-minute bust-up. Courtney Lawes was also involved, appearing to throw a punch at the Samoan."
