England head coach Steve Borthwick has highlighted World Rugby\u2019s inconsistent approach to disciplinary issues.<\/p>\n

Tom Curry was sent off in the third minute of Saturday\u2019s World Cup victory over Argentina for a dangerous tackle and received a two-match ban, yet similar incidents involving South Africa\u2019s Jesse Kriel and Martin Sigren of Chile failed to produce a dismissal, citing or suspension.<\/p>\n

It has raised concerns over the officiating of illegal challenges involving the head.<\/p>\n

There has been a large amount of commentary from different sources about what appears to be a lack of consistency and transparency in the decision making process<\/p>\n

Borthwick also highlighted that when Owen Farrell was sent off for a dangerous tackle against Wales and then cleared by a disciplinary hearing, World Rugby intervened by appealing against the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a large amount of commentary from different sources about what appears to be a lack of consistency and transparency in the decision making process,\u201d Borthwick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s not my role to comment on that, it\u2019s World Rugby\u2019s. I also note there was a tremendous amount of comment from World Rugby on Owen Farrell for a couple of weeks during our preparation for this tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a situation that went on and on with lots of comment from World Rugby. I note there hasn\u2019t been very many comments from World Rugby \u2013 I\u2019m told \u2013 in the last week or so. I will leave that to World Rugby.\u201d<\/p>\n
