The offence would usually be punished with a 18-week ban, but the RFU has halved that ban due to mitigating circumstances, meaning that Cueto, 31, will be available for England’s World Cup campaign in New Zealand.

“At the hearing Cueto did not contest the citing and he was suspended for nine weeks,” the RFU said.

“The suspension runs from 4 April to 6 June and he can resume playing on 7 June.

“The panel decided this was a mid-entry offence, which attracts a ban of 18 weeks, but because of the player’s compelling mitigation he received the full 50% discount.”

England failed at the final hurdle in their Grand Slam attempt after being soundly beaten by Ireland.

Shaw, 37, told the Daily Telegraph: “In order to have beaten Ireland, we really needed to have raised our game to another level from the intensity we produced in Cardiff.”

He added: “I still believe, though, that if we get that right in New Zealand, there is no reason why we can’t go on to reach the final, as we did in 2007, and go one better this time.”

The full-back, 25, was allegedly involved in altercation while out celebrating Sunday’s Aviva Premiership win over Wasps in central London. He was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

Foden and a 23-year-old man were detained overnight before being bailed pending further enquiries.

They both must report to a police station early next month.

“(Sevens) is what is going to open rugby up to the world,” former All Black Jonah Lomu said.

“It is going to go right through Asia, because it is a more level playing field than playing 15-a-side.”

New Zealand Sevens coach Gordon Tietjens, who has taken his side to the top of the IRB Sevens circuit after three days of action in Hong Kong said: “What an incredible atmosphere. This just showcases all the excitement of the sport.”

The series moves to Adelaide next week before finishing in England and Scotland in May.

Young had spent almost nine years working for the International Rugby Board, who own the World Cup. In this time, Young played a major role in 2003 in Australia, and 2007 in France. He is now working on New Zealand’s preparations for this year’s World Cup.

Since Young has been involved, Rugby’s biggest tournament has generated record surpluses for the IRB to invest in the development of the Game. Now installed as one of the world’s top three global sporting events, Rugby World Cup attendance topped over 2m in 2007.

Easter stands in as captain for the injured Mike Tindall, who himself stood in for the injured squad captain Lewis Moody.

Ireland will want to keep up their good record against the English in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. England haven’t won in Dublin since 2003 – the last time they also won a Grand Slam.

“When the fixtures came out most people thought this would be the hardest game and I don’t think we’ll be disappointed,” Easter commented. “We realise after last week’s not-so-hot performance that it was a good kick up the backside in order to make sure we do produce the goods on Saturday. It is going to be a pretty easy game to captain in terms of the build-up because these guys will need no motivation to get up for the game. This is a bigger Test match than most”.

For fly-half Jonny Wilkinson, the encounter has refreshed memories of that Grand Slam match in Dublin seven years ago. “No one in the England camp underestimates how tough it’ll be to win there again. It’s a sensational end to the championship.”

Ireland have won 6 of the last 7 meetings in Dublin and England will in no way underestimate them on their quest for the Grand Slam.

The Azzurri go into the encounter inspired by the 22-21 triumph over France in Rome, their first win in the competition this year, and make six changes going in to this match. Treviso’s Alberto Sgarbi replaces Gonzalo Garcia at centre while his club team-mate, Kris Burton, takes Luciano Orquera’s place at No.9 and Paul Derbyshire will earn his first Six Nations start in Scotland. Leicester prop, Martin Castrogiovanni is the only player in Italy’s first line that has kept his spot, with Leonardo Ghiraldini and Salvatore Perugini returning to the team. Quintin Geldenhuys will also start after being relegated to the replacements bench against France.

Italy are two points clear of Scotland after victory last week and the Scots hope to finish the tournament with some dignity after losing all five of their games so far. They haven’t ‘won’ the wooden spoon since 2007, finishing one place above Italy in the past three tournaments.

France coach Marc Lievremont makes five changes to his side for the clash against Wales. Alexis Palisson of Brive, who has failed to nail down a consistent starting berth, is on the left wing. Damien Traille and David Marty are reunited in the centre six years after last playing there and Thomas Domingo, wrecker of the Scotland scrum before being rested for the defeat to Italy in Rome, returns along with the No8 Imanol Harinordoquy, who described last Saturday’s defeated squad as “useless prats”.

Wales are the only team that can scupper England’s title chances and will want to continue their good form in Paris. France, however, come off the back of a one point defeat to italy, with Lievremont given the unwanted award of being the first French Manager to lose against the Italians.

Ireland have brought in Andrew Trimble and Johnathan Sexton for the game in Dublin. Trimble’s inclusion on the wing results in Keith Earls moving to full-back and Luke Fitzgerald dropping out of the squad. Sexton comes into the fly-half role at the expense of Munster’s Ronan O’Gara, who moves to the replacements bench, despite the veteran numer 10′s good form. Eoin Reddan is named at scrum-half despite suffering concussion against Wales on Saturday.

Should Ireland beat England and Wales win heavily against France, England will miss out on the Six Nations title altogether, let alone their first Grand Slam title in eight years. England go to Dublin having lost six of their last seven meetings on Irish soil, but with their best chance of a Six Nations Grand Slam since 2003.

Tindall had been standing in as skipper during the Six Nations for injured squad captain Lewis Moody and Nick Easter will captain the side on Saturday. 6ft 7in Matt Banahan comes in at centre to replace Tindall in what is a crucial match for England at the Aviva Stadium.

If England beat Ireland they will complete their first Grand Slam since 2003 when a team led by Martin Johnson won their final match at the old Lansdowne Road, which the Aviva Stadium has replaced. Unless Wales win heavily against France, England will still take the Six Nations title on points difference, if Ireland win.

England will win the Grand Slam if they defeat Ireland, and Cueto, 31, will pull out all the stops to make sure that happens.

“You can count on one hand the times you get something tangible out of rugby,” Cueto told the official Six Nations website.

“I’ve never won anything in seven or eight years with England. I’m not getting any younger, so this is a massive opportunity on a personal level.

“When you get so little time together, that’s such a big factor. And that’s what we’ve had over the last 12-18 months, a clear sense of a squad of players.”

England have four of the 12 shortlisted players in Toby Flood, Chris Ashton, James Haskell and Tom Palmer.

“We haven’t banned anything and that includes talking about a Grand Slam,” said Johnson. “We’ve never said ‘don’t mention the Grand Slam’.

“We all know what is at stake now and what we want to do. We will be talking about how to beat Ireland.

“We go away to probably the toughest place to play right now in Europe.”

A win against the Irish in Dublin would mean England win their first Grand Slam since 2003, a year when Johnson was captain and a World Cup was won.

Tindall, captaining England in the absence of Lewis Moody, injured his ankle during Sunday’s 22-16 victory over Scotland and was replaced at half-time.

England will be desperate for Tindall to be available to guide the team through Saturday’s vital match against Ireland, where a win would seal the Grand Slam.

If Tindall is ruled out of the Dublin clash, Nick Easter looks to be the likely candidate to take over the captaincy.

Many Irish players have spoken of injustice after a controversial try was awarded to Wales on the way to their 19-13 win. Captain Brian O’Driscoll was infuriated by Mike Phillips’ crucial second-half try after an illegal quick line-out throw-in.

However, Kidney has asked his players to not dwell on the incident, and concentrate on their next match with England.

“Our job is to prepare for the next game. If we keep looking at the past we’ll never get anywhere,” said Kidney.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, that’s the test. This tests the team. I don’t think it will be hard to get this calibre of player ready for England.”

England laboured to victory 22-16 against Scotland at Twickenham, and struggled to impose themselves on, what many perceived, weaker opponents.

A win against the Irish would guarantee a Grand Slam, which England have no achieved since John was captain in 2003.

Johnson said: “We’ve got lots to be better at. We know we can play a lot better than that.

“We’ll be in a fight (against Ireland) and we’ve got to make sure we are a bit smarter the next time we play.”

After losing their opening Six Nations match to England, Wales have gone on to win three in a row. A win over France in their final game would secure second place, or possibly win them the Championship if England slip-up aginst Ireland.

Gatland acknowledged the  officials’ mistake in allowing Mike Phillips’ try, but believed that his team had enough of an advantage to win.

“I hope it puts things into perspective,” said the former Ireland coach. “I don’t think we’re as bad as people were making out.”

Italy coach Nick Mallett will roll the dice and makes seven changes including Carlo Festuccia,Luciano Orquera, Gonzalo Garcia and the highly-rated Tommaso Benvenuti coming in.

Les Bleus boss Marc Lievremont also makes changes but has surprised many by keeping faith with No.8 Sebastian Chabal.

Julien Bonnaire will play, while Maxime Medard also makes his comeback from injury. An injury to Dimitri Yachvili means Morgan Parra will renew half-back duties with Francois Trinh-Duc.

Coach Martin Johnson wants to make as few changes as possible to his winning team, meaning there will be no place for Tom Croft or Courtney Lawes in the starting line-up.

Lawes has been released to play for the Saints against Leeds while Croft has to make do with a place on the bench. This means flankers Tom Wood and James Haskell will keep their places.

Youngs is currently England’s first-choice scrum-half and preparing to take on Scotland in Sunday’s Calcutta Cup clash. But before his first call up, the Leicester No9 found it hard to understand what Johnson was telling him.

According to the Evening Standard, Youngs feared the worst when Martin Johnson told him: “You’re on the bench”.

Young said: “I was in the team hotel in Bagshot when Johnno came up and said I was on the bench. As Leicester had been knocked out of the LV Cup, I didn’t think we had a game. I then thought that if one had been arranged at short notice, I couldn’t understand why I had been dropped to the bench by the club.

“I told Johnno this and he looked at me in amazement and said: ‘No, you are on the bench for us!’ All I could say was ‘brilliant’ as it started to sink in.

Lawes, who only recently returned from injury, may be deemed surplus to requirements for an England team that has won three from three in this year’s Six Nations. If Lawes is released he will have just one day with Northampton Saints to prepare for their match with Leeds.

Saint director of rugby, Jim Mallinder, said: “That is one of the unfortunate things about the agreement the clubs have with the RFU, is that we have not got a say in that. We still don’t know when he will be available to us. At the moment he is covering for a couple of players and it is their right to keep him if they see fit.”

A run of eight straight wins in the Six Nations was brought to an end as Les Bleus were narrowly beaten by a Ben Foden inspired England. With England still to face Scotland and Ireland, France will hope for a slip up to give them some chance of winning back-to-back titles.

Italy are huge underdogs despite being at home. An impressive second half against Wales will give them some hope, but they need to produce something special to beat France.

Wales and Ireland both have four points in this year’s championship, which is two less than England. But with Ireland still to play England, anything could happen.

Both teams have struggled during this year’s Six Nations. Ireland have been giving away far too many penalties and struggled to a win against Scotland in their last game. Before that they lost to France, despite scoring three tries to Les Bleus’ one.

Wales are also yet to hit top form, but will be boosted by the return of centre Jonathan Davies. Having not played against Italy in Wales’ last game because of a hamstring injury, Davies was kept in the squad as his centre pairing with James Roberts is seen as important to Welsh success. However, his return could force James Hook to the bench, as the argument over where to play the versatile Hook rages on.

Although the game did not boast the same fireworks of the 59-13 defeat of Italy, when winger Chris Ashton ran riot, the performance of England’s forwards was encouraging. With strength and depth to call upon, coach Martin Johnson could be forgiven for dreaming of winning the Six Nations and the World Cup, although there is a long way still to go.

The only try of ‘Le Crunch’ was scored by Ben Foden, whilst Toby Flood kicked nine points. Johnny Wilkinson came off the bench to add a further two points with his first kick of the game, completing the 17-9 victory over Les Bleus at Twickenham.

The Samoans will be highly motivated to play the 2007 Rugby World Cup finalists, and an ounce of complacency from Martin Johnson’s side could see them capitalise.

It was Catt who kicked into touch at the end of extra time in the 2003 World Cup final to ensure Australia had no further chance to attack guaranteeing that the William Webb Ellis would come home to Twickenham. The image is almost as iconic in England as Johnny Wilkinson’s match-winning drop goal.

Catt’s team, London Irish, have almost no chance of making it to the knockout stage of the competition and so Saturday’s match against Northampton Saints will be Catt’s last game in professional rugby. espite having little to play for, London Irish will be desperate to send the veteran off with a victory.

Northampton have already confirmed their place in the playoffs of the competition. Given that for both teams it is pride rather than position at stake, London Irish’s extra motivation for Catt could prove the edge.

Elsewhere in the Guinness Premiership, there is one battle left to be resolved as relegation issues have already been sorted out with Worcester Warriors destined for the drop.

There is only one playoff place left to be decided in the league with the race to secure fourth spot proving one of the most intriguing battles of the season.

Bath are the favourites, as they are three points ahead of London Wasps with just one match remaining, but a failure to beat Leeds Carnegie in their final fixture could prove heartbreaking after an excellent season.

Wasps can only win their game against Newcastle Falcons and hope that they have done enough.

Few anticipated Bath finishing above either Wasps or London Irish at the beginning of the season, but they have exceed expectations, and now sit just one match away from the semi-finals, and the potential of further glory.

Should Bath claim victory in the Guinness Premiership final on the 29th May at Twickenham, it would cap an exceptional campaign.

There are a number of permutations that need to come into play in order for France to concede the title. Ireland will need to defeat a plucky Scottish side in order to have any hope of retaining their title, and pray that England defeat the French. Those two results will have to recover a points difference of +50 in France’s favour, so Ireland will need to win by a large margin and hope England do the same.

Scotland, Wales and Italy will all hope to avoid bottom spot in the table with a win. Given that the Welsh and Italians face off at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on Saturday, at least one of them will drop points, which means that a Scotland win against the Irish would definitely lift them above one of the loser of the clash.

Scotland scored their only points with the boot of Dan Parks, and Italy’s single try by Pablo Canavosio won them the game 16-12.
