England defence coach Kevin Sinfield has dismissed suggestions that there is a discipline problem among the players, but admits they are getting used to playing with 14 men.
The former Leeds Rhinos legend was speaking in a media conference, reacting to the news that England back-row Tom Curry had been handed a two-game ban for his Rugby World Cup red card against Argentina for a head-on-head high tackle.'I think it's tough given the changes - discipline-wise,' said Sinfield.
Four weeks ago at Twickenham, England skipper Farrell caught Wales flanker Taine Basham direct to the face with a high tackle, using a technique that has got him into bother previously. Farrell was shown a red card. Three weeks ago in Dublin, England No 8 Billy Vunipola was dismissed for a shoulder-to-head tackle on Ireland prop Andrew Porter, in which he made no attempt to wrap his arm.Curry's ban means he will miss the World Cup Pool D matches against Japan and Chile .
