World Rugby has come under pressure to act after Owen Farrell's red card against Wales was overturned in a decision that has caused uproar across the game.

Farrell was sent off in the second half of Saturday's 19-17 victory at Twickenham after his yellow card for a shoulder-led tackle to the head of Taine Basham was upgraded to a red by the bunker review system.
