With little over a minute on the clock in Saturday's crucial Six Nations match, Charlie Ewels went in for a tackle on Ireland's James Ryan with the Bath star's head colliding with the Leinsterman's resulting in a straight red card for the England man.
The sending off was deemed the appropriate course of action by French referee Mathieu Reynal with the Irish player looking dazed following the collision and having to be replaced after failing his head injury assessment.
Soon after, Ireland opened the scoring through James Lowe with England's backs to the wall and a huge mountain to climb despite the reprieve of Caelan Doris' disallowed try.
