Joe Launchbury will miss the rest of England’s autumn internationals after picking up a two-week ban.
The Wasps lock was found guilty of kicking centre Asaeli Tikoirotuma in England’s 58-15 victory at Twickenham on Saturday.
It will be a blow for Eddie Jones as Launchbury was a standout performer in both wins over South Africa and Fiji but Jones will be pleased to see the return to fitness of George Kruis.
The lock has recovered from the ankle injury that saw him miss the first two Tests but he has joined the England camp ahead of the game against Argentina this week.
