England captain Owen Farrell has suffered becoming the first player in a World Cup to time out on a penalty.<\/p>\n
The rule was only introduced on January 1 2023 as rugby looks to clamp down on time-wasting.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
England were awarded a penalty in the 63rd minute with the score 11-17 to Samoa.<\/p>\n
But Farrell took ridiculously long over the penalty and saw himself to become the first player to be punished at a World Cup by the new shot clock rule.<\/p>\n
Fans in the Stade Pierre Mauroy were left bemused by the incident.<\/p>\n
And fans on Twitter took a fair deal of schadenfreude in Farrell's mistake.<\/p>\n
