England flanker Marlie Packer avoids ban for World Cup opener after red card
England have been given a boost with Marlie Packer cleared to feature in their Rugby World Cup opener after receiving a one-match ban for a red card. Packer was sent off for a dangerous clearout having been deemed to have targeted the lower leg of a Spanish player during the Red Roses ' 97-7 warm-up win at Welford Road. Her dismissal led to fears that the 35-year-old flanker would be unavailable for the opening game of the upcoming tournament against the United States in Sunderland on Friday 22 August. But Packer has received only a short ban, which will be served for next week's game against France in Mont-de-Marsan, and be eligible for selection come the start of the tournament. Packer was given a two-match ban, with the sanction cut in half after full mitigation was considered. A World Rugby statement said: 'Packer's actions were reckless, and although the initial contact was on the Spanish player's back, the secondary movement resulted in significant body weight being placed on the Spanish player's leg/knee. The committee also noted that the Spanish player avoided injury.' The veteran, a World Cup winner in 2014, skippered the side in Leicester despite losing the full-time captaincy to lock Zoe Aldcroft at the start of the year, and produced an impressive performance before her ruck misdeed. for England boss John Mitchell entering the tournament. The vastly experienced Alex Matthews, breakthrough star Maddie Feaunati, all-action openside Sadia Kabeya and Abi Burton, a former sevens stalwart, are the other specialist back rows in the squad alongside Packer. Captain Aldcroft and fellow lock Morwenna Talling can also feature across the back row.

Bryan Mbeumo makes a good first impression as Ruben Amorim juggles his No 10 options... but Man United lack pace in key area: THINGS WE LEARNED from 2-2 draw with Everton
Manchester United concluded their U.S. tour with a 2-2 draw against Everton in an entertaining clash at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ruben Amorim 's side took the lead after 19 minutes when Bruno Fernandes calmly slotted home a penalty, awarded after James Tarkowski brought down Amad Diallo in the box. Everton equalised five minutes before half-time, with Iliman Ndiaye finishing clinically at the back post following a pinpoint cross from Idrissa Gueye. Mason Mount restored United's advantage in the 69th minute, showing composure to turn and fire past Jordan Pickford after a sharp move inside the box. However, the lead didn't last long. A bizarre own goal from Amad Diallo gifted Everton a second equaliser, ensuring a dramatic end to the contest. Despite the draw, United were crowned Premier League Summer Series champions. Mail Sport's Chris Wheeler was in Atlanta to reveal things we learned from the match. MBUEMO IMPRESSES THE build-up to Bryan Mbeumo's debut for Manchester United in the 2-2 draw with Everton was overshadowed by the club's pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and uncertainty over Rasmus Hojlund's future at Old Trafford, but the £71millon striker made a good first impression as he played the first 45 minutes at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Playing on the right side of a front three that had United's other new-boy Matheus Cunha starting through the middle and Bruno Fernandes on the left, Mbeumo linked up well with his two teammates and had some bright moments, notably the blind pass that released Amad Diallo when he won a penalty that was converted by Fernandes in the 19th minute. It will be interesting to see how Ruben Amorim deploys his assortment of No.10 players – which also includes Mason Mount – if he signs a new striker or Hojlund stays at the club. The Dane got on in the 72nd minute. Diallo is another who can play as a No.10 but he started in his alternative right wing-back role in Atlanta and benefitted from the work of the front three, emerging as arguably United's brightest player in the first period. The game was less than four minutes only when Fernandes released the Ivorian who slipped in Cunha but his effort was wide of the far post. James Tarkowski was furious when Diallo got on the end of a slick move by Fernandes, Mbeumo and Cunha to win the penalty, and the United man then brought a clumsy challenge from Vitalii Mykolenko when he pirouetted cheekily away from the Ukrainian shortly afterwards. Although United lacked a conventional centre-forward, there was a fluidity to their attack not dissimilar to what Sir Alex Ferguson achieved with Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo when taking his team to Champions League glory in 2008 – although clearly this United have some way to go to reach that level. Mbeumo went off at half-time with Diallo reverting to a more advanced role, as Patrick Dorgu came on at left wing-back and Diogo Dalot switched to the right. Mount came on in the 59th minute to play wide on the right with Fernandes dropping deeper, and he scored United's second goal when Fernandes slipped a pass inside and he curled an excellent shot beyond Jordan Pickford. MIDFIELD LACKS PACE There have been some concerns about the lack of pace in United's midfield and it was highlighted again when Everton grabbed a deserved equaliser in the 40th minute in Atlanta. It appeared as though Amorim's side had cleared the danger when Matthijs de Ligt played the ball out to Manuel Ugarte on the edge of his own box, but the Uruguayan was sluggish and James Tarkowski stole in to rob the ball. Idrissa Gueye showed quick thinking to play a first-time cross towards the back post where Iliman Ndiaye reacted quicker than Bruno Fernandes to score with a clinical finish. United's other options in central midfield are 33-year-old veteran Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, and Amorim raised concerns over Mainoo's pace earlier in the tour. It highlights why United are considering signing a quicker No.6 before the end of the transfer window to inject a more speed into their midfield. Another option, of course, is Fernandes who dropped deeper for the final quarter of the game in Atlanta and got an assist on the second goal for Mount. KEEPER QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED The other area of the team United are looking at is a new goalkeeper amid question marks over Andre Onana's future at Old Trafford. The expectation is that the Cameroon international will stay and start, but United quoted Monaco £30m to sign Onana early in the window and they have made enquiries about Emi Martinez of Aston Villa and PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma. With Onana missing all the tour games due to a hamstring injury suffered on only the second day of pre-season training at Carrington, this was a chance for his No.2 Altay Bayindir to shine and it's fair to say the Turk didn't take his opportunity. Bayindir almost paid for an error in the seventh minute when he got down to save James Garner's 20-yard free kick but bundled the ball straight to Jake O'Brien who should have done better than guide it against the far post with the goal gaping. O'Brien then headed wide just before half-time, denying Everton the lead their first-half performance probably deserved. There was also a close call when Tim Iroegbunam raced through and touched the ball past a hesitant Bayindir to score but, luckily for the United keeper, he was just offside. Bayindir couldn't be faulted for Ndiaye's well-taken equaliser shortly afterwards, but the second goal was a mess as Diallo played the ball against Ayden Heaven and it trickled past a statuesque Bayindir as United conceded an own-goal for the second game in a row to draw with an Everton side who had lost their previous two games on tour. FEISTY FRIENDLY One of the benefits of playing in a Premier League Summer Series is the level of competition against old rivals is that bit keener than other tour games. United have played well to beat West Ham and Bournemouth in the US, but they came up against a feisty Everton in the last match in Atlanta. James Tarkowski gave Amad Diallo an earbashing after the Ivorian won a penalty in the first half, and there was a furious exchange in the build-up to Everton's second equaliser when Bruno Fernandes and Iliman Ndiaye clashed on the halfway line. Fernandes pursued the Everton man and appeared to clip him from behind, leading to an angry shoving match between them as play continued and the ball went in off Ayden Heaven. Ruben Amorim would probably rather have a game like this to test his players at this stage of pre-season, with United facing Arsenal in their Premier League opener in two weeks' time.

England given Chris Woakes fitness boost ahead of nail-biting finish to India series
Chris Woakes stands ready to bat with a dislocated shoulder and 'put his body on the line' for England, with Joe Root confident the hosts will apply the finishing touches to a nail-biting series decider against India. For the fifth Test in a row, the game is going all the way to the final day after a nerve-wracking fourth evening left all results possible. Brilliant centuries from Root (105) and Harry Brook (111) had England cruising towards a remarkable chase, set fair on 301 for three hunting 374, but they lost three late wickets to leave things in the balance. Bad light and rain halted a thrilling conclusion in its tracks, with England needing 35 runs and India seeking four more wickets. One of those belongs to Woakes, who has not featured since badly damaging his left shoulder while fielding on Friday. He was ruled out of the game the next morning but has remained with the team and is willing to bat at number 11 with his arm in a sling if required. 'You probably saw him in his whites in the dressing room. He's all in, like the rest of us,' said Root. 'Clearly, he's in a huge amount of pain. But it means a huge amount to him and it just shows the character and the person that he is, that he's willing to put his body on the line like that for England. 'If it does come to that, hopefully he can get us across the line and win an incredible series.' Root was not surprised to see a dramatic end unfold after almost seven weeks of full-blooded battle but, having done a huge amount of the heavy lifting alongside Brook, still fancies England to triumph. 'It was always going to happen like this wasn't it? Just look at the first four games,' he said. 'It's been amazing to play in and quite fitting that we're going to get that kind of finish. It's been one hell of a series, one hell of a journey, and there's clearly confidence in our dressing room. I'd like to think we've got what we need to get across the line.' Root had earlier marked his 39th Test hundred, and third this summer, with a touching tribute to the late Graham Thorpe. The former Test batter, who took his own life last year, enjoyed a close relationship with Root during his time as England's assistant coach. When he reached three figures, Root produced one of the Thorpe-inspired white headbands Surrey have been selling to raise funds for the MIND mental health charity and wore it as he looked to the skies. 'That was on behalf of our team. It was just a thank you for everything that he's given the game of cricket, and given English cricket, on and off the field,' he said. 'It's been amazing to recognise everything that he's done as a player, as a coach, as a mentor, as a friend to the dressing room and to the game. 'It was really great to see the amount of love that there is for him and for his family.' India's quicks had found wonderful rhythm before the weather intervened and would probably have liked to try and finish the job while the mood was with them. A night's break and an extra use of the heavy roller could play into England's hands but a saturated outfield meant the tourists were not complaining about the umpires' decision. 'We can see it's pretty wet out there,' said bowling coach Morne Morkel. 'In a way that's out of our control so all we can focus on is doing a good warm-up in the morning, get the boys ready to get the ball in the right area and create a little bit of excitement again.'
