England wing Elliot Daly will discover on Monday afternoon the length of the ban he must serve for being sent off against Argentina.

Daly was shown a red card in the fifth minute of Saturday's 27-14 victory at Twickenham after colliding with Leonardo Senatore while the number eight was in the process of catching a high ball.

Senatore landed on his head - his afternoon was ended by the concussion he sustained - and after reviewing the incident French referee Pascal Gauzere dismissed Daly.

The Wasps threequarter faces a disciplinary hearing in London at Monday lunchtime knowing the entry point sanction for the offence is a three-week suspension with the mid-range numbering six weeks.

Eddie Jones had no complaints with the fifth red card in English rugby history and the first since Lewis Moody in 2004.

"Elliot made a judgement error. We all make them. These things happen and you have to get on with it. I make an error of judgement every time I go outside, we all do it," head coach Jones said.
