Ireland's head coach Andy Farrell talked about the current disciplinary process involving his son Owen Farrell, England's captain. Owen was left out of England's game against Ireland after World Rugby appealed the decision to cancel the red card Owen got in the Wales game. The panel that cancelled the red card caused problems, as people questioned if the process was fair.
Andy Farrell said he was upset about how the case was handled. He said those who enjoyed being in the spotlight got more time in it. World Rugby said their process was fair, and wouldn't say more until hearing the appeal on Friday. The appeal result will affect if Owen can play in the World Cup, which starts soon. If they win, he plays. If they lose, he misses at least 6 weeks including the tournament. The case raises questions about fairness in rugby discipline. We'll see if World Rugby makes changes.
