Joe Marler’s high profile disciplinary case after the incident involving Alun Wyn Jones has seen him slapped with a ten game ban.
The forward was pictured ‘grabbing’ Wyn Jones’ genitals in England’s clash with Wales at the weekend.
Some projections suggested Marler could have received up to a four year ban, with 12 games a minimum.
