Marlie Packer cleared for opening match of England's World Cup campaign
The 35-year-old was sent off in the second half of the Red Roses' 97-7 warm-up victory in Leicester following a clumsy clearout on the left leg of Spain full-back Claudia Pena.
Packer's suspension rules her out of her country's final warm-up match, away to France on Saturday.
Hosts England begin the World Cup on Friday, August 22 against the United States in Sunderland.
In determining the sanction, World Rugby's foul play review committee noted Packer accepted foul play occurred but she did not agree the offence warranted a red card.
Her challenge, which did not result in injury to Harlequins player Pena, was deemed to be 'reckless'. The committee decided the offence warranted a two-match ban but opted to award full 50 per cent mitigation.
England's 15-try success at Welford Road was Packer's first match as captain since being replaced in the full-time role by Zoe Aldcroft in January.
The Saracens forward, who has 111 Test caps, led the Red Roses to back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams in 2023 and 2024 and is one of head coach John Mitchell's vice-captains.

Ivan Cleary cops heat over Penrith trainer furore as Bulldogs player's act emerges
Ivan Cleary has copped some backlash for a nonchalant response to the Penrith Panthers trainer furore as Gold Coast Titans kicker Jayden Campbell was distracted during an important kick. It comes as Bailey Hayward's moment during a Tigers penalty has come under scrutiny. The fallout to the Panthers trainer debacle has continued with fans waiting to see how the NRL reacts on Monday to the incident. The Titans had just scored and Campbell was lining up his conversion with the ambition of pushing the score beyond a penalty goal or two-point drop goal. Although Panthers trainer Corey Bocking darted across the field and in his line of sight. Much was made of the incident with Fox Sports commentator Andrew Voss calling out the trainer as boos rang around the stadium. "That is disgraceful, that is absolutely disgraceful," Andrew Voss said. Campbell missed the conversion, before throwing his kicking tee in disgust. However, he soon chased down the kicking tee and appeared to apologise to the ball kid in a classy move. The Titans ended up losing the game with Nathan Cleary icing a two-point field goal to take it to golden point. And Blaize Talagi scored in extra time to seal the victory for the Panthers and move them within a point of the Warriors in fourth. However, coach Cleary has now come under scrutiny for his response to the debacle. "I didn't see was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We had a sub and I changed it at the last minute," Cleary said after the game. "He was trying to communicate with the bench for a late change. It was an honest mistake. He apologised straight away. Gold Coast Titans fans may not feel like an apology is enough with the Panthers finding themselves in yet another trainer controversy this year. And speaking on Monday morning, NRL commentator Voss has called out Cleary for his response to the situation. Voss feels Cleary and the Panthers were too quick to dismiss the incident with the fans rightfully upset. "I didn't see it, that just infuriates me that first line. To say I didn't see it, of course you saw it. C'mon, we replayed it six times. The game was stopped. That just throws petrol on the fire," Voss added on SEN Radio about Cleary's comments. When asked if it could have been an accident from the trainer Voss said: "Yes, but I can't accept that." Bailey Hayward called out for Tigers moment Only a day after the Penrith trainer was slammed for distracting the kicker and the rules being dug up, Bulldogs sub Hayward could have also been at the centre of attention. Voss called out the Bulldogs star as Adam Doueihi was lining up a penalty kick. The Tigers were awarded a penalty in front of goal after Stephen Crichton collected Taylan May high, but remained on the field, with the Wests Tigers star leaving for a category one HIA. And Doueihi lined-up the conversion to push the lead out against the Bulldogs. Although cameras picked up Hayward quite animated as he waved his arms in front of the goal. This could have been deemed another offence and if Doueihi had missed the penalty, the referee would have been within his rights to award the Tigers kicker another opportunity. And Voss called out Hayward following the drama that had unfolded only 24 hours earlier in the Panthers and Titans game. "Even Bailey Hayward yesterday, was waving his arms around in front of a Doueihi kick. And I thought, you goose. What are you doing?" Voss said following the Panthers debacle. Andrew Voss calls for answers from NRL Voss admitted the NRL doesn't have a clear rule on what to do if the trainer does impede a goal kick. But it doesn't excuse the Panthers from the incident. "If a defending player waves their arms in front of a kicker and he misses, the referee is obliged to let the kicker have another shot. But no where does it cover a trainer doing that. An external party to the players. There is no rule. Liam Kennedy would have had to make up a rule in the spirit of the game on the spot," Voss added. "We can bulletproof ourselves for first things first, what we do is what action?"

Injured Wallaroos pair included for World Cup campaign
Injured sevens star Charlotte Caslick has been included in the Wallaroos squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup in England, while Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare have been named for their third campaign. The world No.8 Australians will open their tournament in Salford on August 23 (9pm AEST) as they look to improve on a quarter-final showing at the last tournament in 2021. Coach Jo Yapp named a 32-player squad on Monday, which includes 15 World Cup debutants. Defending Super Rugby Women's champions the NSW Waratahs will be represented by 13 players, while the ACT Brumbies have eight representatives, Queensland six, with five from Western Force. Olympic gold medal winner Caslick switched from sevens this year with the ambition of playing in her first 15-a-side World Cup, but suffered a syndesmosis injury last month that required surgery. However, she and fellow sevens convert Tia Hinds were included, along with captain Siokapesi Palu, who missed the recent two Test matches against Wales with a foot injury. It's unclear when the injured pair will be available to play. Teenage sensation Waiaria Ellis, 17, could become the youngest Wallaroo to play at a World Cup after being included in the youthful squad, which has an average age of 26. Veterans Marsters and Pomare, who both recently passed 40 Test appearances, will add some much-needed experience in their third tournament. Uncapped Reds winger Caitlin Urwin has been included after impressing for Australia A. However, there was no room for out-of-favour Waratahs playmaker Arabella McKenzie. Lock Annabelle Codey is set to follow in her father David Codey's footsteps in playing at a World Cup, while Katalina Amosa, the sister of Wallaby Brandon Paenga-Amosa, is one of three hookers named. "We are very proud of the squad and the journey the players and staff have been on for the past two years to get to this point," said Yapp, who will step away from the role after the tournament. "We have a very special group of people within this squad, diverse in culture and a range of ages and levels of experience in the game. "A World Cup is the pinnacle event in sport, and women's rugby will showcase that in England later this month. "We are ready to perform on the global stage and thank everyone who is supporting us on and off the field." The tournament is set to be the biggest-ever women's rugby event, with more than 300,000 tickets sold. Following Samoa, the Wallaroos take on USA on August 31 and top-ranked tournament hosts England on September 6 to complete their pool matches. WALLAROOS SQUAD: Katalina Amosa, Bree-Anna Browne, Charlotte Caslick, Emily Chancellor, Annabelle Codey, Lori Cramer, Piper Duck, Waiaria Ellis, Ashley Fernandez, Georgina Friedrichs, Caitlyn Halse, Tia Hinds, Brianna Hoy, Asoiva Karpani, Lydia Kavoa, Kaitlan Leaney, Michaela Leonard, Ashley Marsters, Desiree Miller, Faitala Moleka, Layne Morgan, Tania Naden, Bridie O'Gorman, Siokapesi Palu, Faliki Pohiva, Trilleen Pomare, Cecilia Smith, Maya Stewart, Adiana Talakai, Tabua Tuinakauvadra, Caitlin Urwin, Samantha Wood

Miyu Yamashita seals Women's Open title as Lottie Woad continues meteoric rise
Japan's Miyu Yamashita secured victory in the AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl with an assured performance that mocked the golf's world scant knowledge of her previous achievements and abundant potential. Her triumph was built around a second round of 7-under-par 65 played in the calmest conditions of the week. Half the field had the opportunity to make such a decisive move yet only Yamashita did so. Heading into the weekend with a three-shot advantage over her compatriot Rio Takeda, she was seven strokes clear of everyone else in the field and the buffer proved vital. Only England's Charley Hull, who was a distant 11 shots back at halfway, mounted a concerted bid for the title, twice getting with a shot of the champion. Ultimately, however, she recorded a fourth second place finish in the major championships – her first victory remains elusive. Yamashita completed an 11-under par total of 277 to land her first win on the LPGA and while some viewed the result as a shock she was ranked 15th in the world at the start of the week off the back of 13 wins in her homeland since turning professional in 2020. It would be no surprise if this major win was the first of many. Early in Sunday's final round, England's Mimi Rhodes, who finished T19th, completed a remarkable hole-in-one at the 184-yard par-3 fifth. Her partner, Australia's Stephanie Kyriacou, had made an ace of her own at the eighth hole in the second round and on this occasion knocked her tee shot to within inches of the hole. Rhodes's effort then went in-off Kyriacou's ball. If Yamashita was the champion, England's Lottie Woad was the golfer who drove most conversations through the week. The 21-year-old can't remember what she was doing on the first day of July, but essentially she was a student on her summer break. On the last day of the month, in contrast, she started the first round of the final major championship of the year as the clear bookies favourite. It goes without saying that in between she didn't go Interrailing or work in a coffee shop. Instead, she won the Ladies European Tour's Irish Open by six shots and the LPGA's Scottish Open by three strokes – the former as an amateur, the latter as a professional. It was an astounding spell of golf, possibly the greatest farewell to the amateur game, and hello to the professional ranks, in British golf history. That she was disappointed with her performance at Royal Porthcawl, and still finished tied eighth, says everything about both her talent and desire. It's not the first time that an Englishwoman has announced herself to British golf in spectacular fashion on the shores of the Bristol Channel. In 1933, at Royal North Devon, Gloria Minoprio wowed her peers when contesting the English Ladies Championship with nothing more than a 2-iron. Onlookers, meanwhile, were agog that she stepped straight from a Rolls Royce to the first tee wearing a blue-black pair of trousers. Albeit briefly, she became a nationwide sensation for being the first women golfer to compete in something other than a skirt. Minoprio and Woad are significantly different characters. Where Minoprio was flashy and, indeed, a flash in the pan, Woad is unfussy and likely to be around for a very long time. Nigel Edwards, who worked with Woad in his role as England Golf's Performance Director, is cautious and yet cannot hide his admiration of her straightforward nature and the quality of her driving which, he says, 'Consistently provides her with the opportunity to score.' 'Her potential is immense,' said BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter. 'She is great from the tee, makes very few unforced errors, her chipping is extraordinary, and her putting under pressure is first rate. 'Most significantly of all, she has the temperament, the determination and the competitiveness to make the most of her talents and to enjoy doing so. She appear to have a genuine appetite for winning at the top level.' Woad was not the only youngster to enjoy a stellar July. The Australian Grace Kim went eagle-birdie-eagle to win the Evian Championship, her first LPGA title. The 24-year-old's compatriot, Minjee Lee, is something of an older sister figure to her and understands that both Kim and Woad are yet to fully appreciate the extent to which their lives have changed. 'It's probably too close to the wins and they're still on a high,' she said. 'When they've had a little time off it will begin to sink in.' Now a three-time major championship winner, Lee was a phenomenon herself, winning twice on the LPGA before her 20th birthday. She remembers that time as 'something of a blur' and expects Woad may feel the same. She also remembers riding the wave. 'It felt like go, go, go,' she said and encouraged Woad to take a similar approach. There's a palpable sense that British golf is engaged in a tricky balancing act, weighing giddy excitement against unreasonable expectations. Alison Nicholas, the 1997 US Women's Open champion and two-time winning Solheim Cup captain, is confident of Woad's ability to cope with the inevitable off-the-course duties. 'She's pretty measured and you can only control your own expectations,' she said. 'You can't control anybody else's. She just has to stick to her own bubble and ignore the world a little bit.' Woad is yet to complete her studies at Florida State University in Tallahassee. She will continue to use her apartment there as a base while slowly taking the remaining classes required to graduate (it might take up to three years but she's in no rush). 'I don't feel too different,' she said after five weeks that had changed her life. 'Everyone's been really nice. It's been great.' Those words reveal the true Woad. As special as she is on the golf course, she is utterly normal off it.
