Owen Farrell and Joe Marler hit with two-week bans

Saracens fly-half Farrell was suspended after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson during last Saturday’s Champions Cup semi-final, while his fellow England Six Nations title and Grand Slam winner, Harlequins prop Marler, was cited for kicking Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy in a Challenge Cup semi-final.

Both players are sidelined until May 9, each missing two Aviva Premiership games, but both players will be available for European finals in Lyon next month and England’s three-Test summer tour of Australia.
