A 14-man England went on to secure a much-needed 27-10 victory to open their tournament. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>EXPLAINED: <\/strong><strong>Rugby World Cup head contact and high tackle rules<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe player accepted that foul play occurred and that the offence warranted a red card,\u201d said a World Rugby statement communicating the committee\u2019s decision. <\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/11\/13\/newFile.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/12\/15\/4774cd665c64d9f20ff21104fed87eecY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjk0NjE0NTUz-2.73424350.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/09\/22\/newFile.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe committee noted that the offence carries a mandatory minimum mid-range sanction (six matches), and having considered the mitigating factors, including admission of foul play and correctness of the red card at the first opportunity, an exemplary disciplinary record, apology to the player and good character, reduced the sanction by the maximum mitigation of 50 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sale back rower does have a right to appeal the decision, but his acceptance of the red card would suggest that an appeal would be unlikely and Curry will next be able to feature in the final pool game against Samoa.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa centre Jesse Kriel was not cited for an apparent head-to-head contact on Scotland\u2019s Jack Dempsey during the Springboks\u2019 Pool B win, with footage said not to have shown conclusive evidence of foul play.<\/p>\n<p>Curry\u2019s sending off was England\u2019s fourth red card in their last six matches, though Freddie Steward\u2019s dismissal against Ireland during the Six Nations was subsequently rescinded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clearly more difficult to [defend] with 14 men on the field,\u201d defence coach Kevin Sinfield said on Sunday. \u201cWe have had to do that four times out of the last six. I thought we handled it really well [against Argentina], but I don\u2019t want us to keep handling that. None of us do. We are a better team with 15 on the field.
