Number eight Billy Vunipola will miss England's opening game of the World Cup against Argentina following his red card against Ireland.

He was shown a yellow card for a high challenge on Andrew Porter but it was upgraded to a red.

Vunipola has banned for three games but it can be reduced to two if he completes the World Rugby coaching intervention programme.

England's final warm-up game is against Fiji on Saturday.

The World Cup in France starts on 8 September and England meet Argentina the following day.
