England captain Owen Farrell is available for the start of the Rugby World Cup after his red card against Wales in a warmup game was rescinded by a disciplinary panel on Tuesday. Farrell was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on Taine Basham that was later upgraded to a red card in the second half of England's 19-17 win at Twickenham on Saturday. The flyhalf appeared before an independent judicial committee via video link and denied the tackle was worthy of a red card, while accepting he committed an act of foul play.
