Feb 17 (Reuters) - ⁠England winger Henry Arundell will be ⁠available for the home Six ‌Nations clash with Ireland on Saturday following a disciplinary hearing in which he avoided ​additional sanctions for his red ⁠card against Scotland.

The ⁠23-year-old faced a hearing on Tuesday ⁠following ‌his double yellow card in England's 31-20 Six Nations ⁠defeat by Scotland.

Having been sent to ​the sin ‌bin already, Arundell collected a ⁠second yellow ​for taking out Kyle Steyn in the air, earning him an automatic ⁠20-minute red card.

"The player ​accepted that he had committed the acts of foul play that resulted in ⁠the showing of the two yellow cards," a statement said.

Arundell has been a key player for England in ​this year's Six ⁠Nations, scoring four tries in two ​games including a hat-trick ‌in the win over ​Wales.
