Charlie Ewels has been suspended following a second red card in consecutive England Tests, with the latest incident occurring during a match against Ireland in the 2022 Six Nations. Ewels received a two match ban for his clear-out on Leitch. Ewels is set to miss England's series against the All Blacks. Richard Hill is speaking to standby players, while Richard Smith KC is expected to handle the legal aspects. Eddie J agreed that Ewels had no intent to injure Leitch. As a result, Nick Isiekwe has been called into the England squad to replace Ewels. The Saracens forward will arrive in Auckland on Tuesday, June 25, ahead of England’s two-Test tour of New Zealand.

Charlie Ewels' yellow upgraded to red. That means (news from the #statcave) he has been sent off in consecutive England Tests - his last coming v Ireland in the 2022 Six Nations. You'd expect a ban, and that to be his tour, I'm afraid. Come on down Richard Smith KC. @TimesSport
