England lose Armitage  Delon Armitage will miss England’s
quarter-final due to a one-match suspension for foul play.
Following a review of broadcast footage of Saturday’s Pool B
game between England and Scotland, Armitage was cited under Law
10.4(e) for a dangerous tackle. He has since been suspended by
Independent Judicial Officer Bruce Squire QC (NZL) in accordance
with the Rugby World Cup 2011 Disciplinary process.  Having
conducted a detailed review of all the evidence available,
including all broadcast angles and additional evidence from the
player and submissions from his legal representative, the
Judicial Officer deemed the offence to be lower end offending
which has an entry point of two weeks.  However, taking into
account particular aspects of the offending which the Judicial
Officer found justified a reduction from the proscribed entry
point when taken into consideration with mitigating factors and
the absence of aggravating factors, the player was suspended for
a period of one match.
