Harlequins prop Joe Marler and Sarries centre Owen Farrell facing citing charges

England internationals Joe Marler and Owen Farrell have been cited over incidents that occurred while they were on European duty with their clubs over the last few days.

Harlequins prop Marler appeared to kick Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy in the head on Friday night during the London club’s 30-6 win at The Stoop that sent them into the European Challenge Cup final.

Saracens centre Farrell is alleged to have committed a dangerous tackle on the Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson on Saturday as Sarries reached the Champions Cup final with a 24-17 win at the Madejski.
