Lancaster warns hothead Ashton

England head coach Stuart Lancaster has warned Chris Ashton about his discipline after the Saracens wing was suspended from the opening autumn international against Fiji.

Ashton was banned for a week after accruing three yellow cards in the Aviva Premiership this season, all of them for dangerous tackles or off-the-ball charges.

In passing judgment, the Rugby Football Union’s disciplinary chief Judge Jeff Blackett instructed Ashton to work on his tackling technique.
