Three-week ban for Hobson

BRISTOL prop Jason Hobson has received a three-week ban for the punch that ended England captain Phil Vickery’s RBS 6 Nations season.

Former England U-21 international Hobson was cited following the incident in a Guinness Premiership game between Bristol and Wasps at Adams Park nine days ago.

Vickery suffered concussion as a result, which ruled him out of the 26-18 victory over France last weekend in addition to this Saturday’s Six Nations finale against Wales in Cardiff.
