Harlequins prop Joe Marler has received a two-week ban after being cited for kicking Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy during last Friday’s European Challenge Cup semi-final.
England international Marler, who was making his comeback appearance following a two-week suspension imposed for his “Gypsy boy” slur against Wales’ Samson Lee in last month’s RBS 6 Nations Championship game at Twickenham, is sidelined until May 9.
Challenge Cup organisers European Professional Club Rugby said a three-man disciplinary committee heard evidence from Marler during a hearing in London on Wednesday.
