England have acquired a Six Nations enhance with Henry Slade’s pink card being overturned by a disciplinary panel.

However it’s understood the pink card has been rescinded, leaving Slade free to play instantly.

England start their Six Nations marketing campaign towards Scotland at Twickenham on 4 February with Slade a first-rate contender to begin the match.

Slade was named in head coach Steve Borthwick’s 36-man squad on Monday alongside centres Manu Tuilagi, Dan Kelly and Joe Marchant, whereas Owen Farrell and Elliot Daly may also play within the midfield.

A pink card for head contact carries a minimal six-game suspension, though this may be decreased to 3 video games due to mitigating components, whereas the completion of a World Rugby tackling course can cut back the ban by an additional sport.

Champions Cup organisers, EPCR, will launch the official disciplinary choices from the weekend on Wednesday morning.
