ENGLAND won the return World Cup warm-up against Wales at Twickenham in a scrappy game that saw the home side reduced to 12 men.
The final score was 14 men versus 14 after England were shown three yellows and skipper Owen Farrell was shown the red card against two Welsh players sent to the sin bin.
The red card for Farrell for a high tackle on Taine Basham where his shoulder hit the forward’s head will be considered at a disciplinary hearing tomorrow.
