Wales number eight Georgia Evans is free to face England in the Women's Six Nations in Cardiff on Saturday after being sent off for committing two sin-bin offences against Scotland last weekend.

Evans was first yellow carded in Wales' defeat in Edinburgh for collapsing a maul. Soon after returning to the field, Evans' high tackle led to a second yellow and with it a red card.

A disciplinary panel deemed the red card "sufficient" punishment with "no further sanction" needed.

Wales lost the encounter 24-21 with hosts Scotland also seeing a player sent off, Evie Gallagher receiving a one-game ban for an illegal challenge at a ruck.

Gallagher will miss Scotland's game against France on Saturday.
