The Rugby World Cup has had its first red card of the tournament after USA's John Quill was sent off following a direct shoulder to the head on England's Owen Farrell.
The incident came after the 69 minute mark, when England were 38-0 up against the Eagles in Kobe, and Farrell stumbled forward after fumbling a pass from George Ford and openside Quill hit him with a direct shoulder to the head.
Referee Nic Berry - who said there was no mitigation for the incident - showed the USA flanker the red card after the incident saw Farrell knocked to the floor, drawing blood from the face.

Ex-England star Ugo Monye, appearing on ITV, said: "It's a disgrace, it's cheap. That's not even a tackle, it's a cheap shot.
"Get him off the pitch!"
Speaking after the game, England boss Eddie Jones said: "No major injuries.
"I think Owen's just got half of his nose missing but apart from that we're pretty good!"
It comes just a day after Australia's Reece Hodge was banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle on Fiji’s Peceli Yato at the weekend.
That tackle went unpunished at the time, with the TMO judging that there was nothing wrong with it.
But Hodge was predictably cited and was handed a three-week ban, meaning he misses all of the Wallabies' group stage games from here on in. Hodge claimed during his disciplinary hearing that he had no knowledge of World Rugby's new framework around dealing with high tackles. You can read the full hearing notes here.
While the tackle has been subject to plenty of debate around whether the incident should have been a red card or not, there was no such hesitation around Quill's sending-off.
The game ended England 45-7 USA.
