World Rugby has confirmed the “bunker” review system for yellow cards will be introduced for the forthcoming World Cup despite the furore caused over Owen Farrell’s recent sending off.
Farrell faces his second disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and the conclusion of a drawn‑out saga that led to questions over the review system’s credibility after his red card was overturned. The England captain was shown a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Wales’s Taine Basham this month but was sent off upon bunker review.
