England Fullback Freddie Steward Sent Off In Crunch Clash With Ireland

England trail Ireland 10 – 6 away in Dublin in the final clash of the 2023 Guinness Six Nations Championship. 

Playing better than they have arguably all Championship, England have tested Ireland more than many expected. 

Yet the challenge of winning in Dublin is a mountainous task and has only got more difficult following Freddie Steward’s red card. 

Colliding rather clumsily with his opposition number Hugo Keenan, the England fullback left referee Jaco Peyper with no choice but to send him off. 

What did you make of the incident? Let us know in the comments below.
