Tom Curry will miss England's next two Rugby World Cup matches following his red card in Saturday's win over Argentina.

Curry, 25, faced a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and was ruled out of games against Japan and Chile.

The Sale back row was initially shown a yellow card after making head-to-head contact in a tackle with Juan Cruz Mallia inside the first three minutes.

It was later upgraded to a red following a 'bunker' review.

The independent disciplinary committee imposed a ban of three matches on the flanker - but that is reduced to two games if he completes the World Rugby coaching programme on tackling.
