Argentina's Tomas Lavanini has been sent off against England for a horrible high tackle on England star Owen Farrell in their Pool C clash in Tokyo. Lavanini hit Farrell directly on the head with his left shoulder, leaving referee Nigel Owens with no choice but to produce a red card after just 17 minutes with the score at 5-3 to England. Nigel Owens had no choice but to wave the red card. — Marc Hinton (@marchintonffx) October 5, 2019DAVID ROGERS/GETTY IMAGES Tomas Lavanini leaves the pitch after his red card.
