Feyi-Waboso's initial yellow card was upgraded to red after being reviewed by the television match official Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will go on tour with England this summer despite being suspended for the two-Test series against Argentina. The 22-year-oldhas been banned for three matches- one of which he will be excused when he completes World Rugby's 'tackle school' programme - for a high shot on France A fly-half Antoine Hastoy in an England XV's 26-24 defeat on Saturday. He will only be available to coach Steve Borthwick for England's match against the United States on 19 July, having to sit out the games against Argentina on the two previous weekends. Bath's Will Muir, Sale's Tom Roebuck and Harlequins' Cadan Murley are the other specialist wings named in the 36-strong squad. Northampton full-back George Furbank, who suffered a concussion in Saints' Champions Cup final defeat by Bordeaux-Begles, stays home to continue his recovery with Freddie Steward and Joe Carpenter are included. Ben Curry and Harry Randall have shaken off injuries to make the squad. Jamie George, who was succeeded by Maro Itoje as England skipper at the start of this year, will co-captain the team with Sale fly-half George Ford. Gloucester's Charlie Atkinson is the only other specialist fly-half in the squad, although Henry Slade can step in from midfield to fill in. Atkinson is one of 10 uncapped players in the squad, with Bath pair Max Ojomoh and Guy Pepper also looking to make their first Test appearances for England. Thirteen of England's frontline players - including back-three options Tommy Freeman and Elliot Daly and fly-halves Fin and Marcus Smith - are away on British and Irish Lions duty in Australia this summer. "The three-Test series is a huge challenge and a valuable opportunity for the continued development of this squad," said Borthwick. "For some of the younger players, this will be their first experience of touring overseas with England. Travelling together helps strengthen team bonds and offers a valuable chance for new players to integrate into our environment. "It's an exciting test for us, and we're looking forward to seeing how we continue to evolve as a team." Argentina, ranked fifth in the world, beat the British and Irish Lions in Dublin on Friday night and have defeated South Africa, New Zealand, France and Australia, over the past 12 months. They are searching for their first series win over England. The United States have lost all nine of their previous meetings with England,going down 43-29 in their most recent meeting in 2021.

TruthLens AI Summary
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been selected for England's summer tour despite facing a suspension that will keep him out of the two-Test series against Argentina. The 22-year-old wing's initial yellow card for a high tackle on France A fly-half Antoine Hastoy was escalated to a red card following a review by the television match official. As a result, he has received a three-match ban, one of which will be waived upon his completion of World Rugby's 'tackle school' program. Feyi-Waboso will be eligible to participate in England's match against the United States on July 19, but he must miss the preceding matches against Argentina on the two weekends prior. Coach Steve Borthwick has also included other specialist wings in the squad, such as Will Muir from Bath, Tom Roebuck from Sale, and Cadan Murley from Harlequins, as England prepares for a challenging series against a formidable Argentine side ranked fifth in the world.
The squad for the tour consists of 36 players, including several uncapped individuals looking to make their Test debuts. Notably, the squad lacks some frontline players who are on British and Irish Lions duty in Australia, which opens up opportunities for younger players. Borthwick highlighted the significance of this tour for the development of the team, emphasizing the advantages of overseas touring experiences in fostering team cohesion and integrating new players into the squad. Jamie George, who was succeeded by Maro Itoje as captain earlier this year, will co-captain the team alongside Sale fly-half George Ford. Argentina, having recently defeated top-tier teams such as South Africa and New Zealand, is eager to secure their first series win over England. Meanwhile, England has a historical advantage over the United States, having won all nine of their previous encounters, including a 43-29 victory in their last matchup in 2021.
