Audio: Lawes, Tuilagi and Morgan preview England vs Wales

Russell Hargreaves from Talking Rugby caught up with returning England stars Courtney Lawes and Manu Tuilagi as well as England new-boy Ben Morgan ahead of England vs Wales in the Six Nations this weekend.

Lawes given 2 match ban

Following yesterdays post regarding Courtney Lawes' citing he has been banned for 2 matches after facing a disciplinary hearing in the early ours of the morning our time.

England have not decided whether to appeal the ban but it does seem hefty for the incident which could be described as "minor".

But in good news, Lewis Moody is going to be ready for England's clash with Georgia and has been training this week.

Courtney Lawes Cited

England's explosive tackler, Courtney Lawes, has been cited following allegations he kneed Mario Ledesma after tackling him into touch.

The incident occurred in England's clash against Argentina and it is believed that Lawes has breached rule 10.4(a) which is not to punch or strike somebody with the knee.

England coach, Martin Johnson, has said he will provide any information required for the disciplinary hearing which will take place on Tuesday at 3AM (BST) in Auckland.

This citing is the first so far of the Rugby World Cup 2011. The 22 year-old also earned his 11th cap in England's clash with Argentina since he got hist first against Australia in 2010 where he supplied the pass to Chris Ashton to score his memorable try.

England will continue their world cup campaign on Sunday against group minnows, Georgia.
