England's Ewels shown 82-second red card against Ireland

England forward Charlie Ewels was sent off after just 82 seconds in their Six Nations international against Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.

Text size:

The lock was upright as he tackled Ireland counter-part James Ryan and their heads clashed.

As the reeling Irish second row was helped off the field, referee Mathieu Raynal reviewed a video of the collision and decided Ewels merited a red card.

Johnny Sexton kicked the penalty to give Ireland the lead. Ryan failed his head injury assessment and was permanently replaced by Iain Henderson.
