Grewcock gets ban for 'violent conduct'

Lions and England lock Danny Grewcock will be available for England's November internationals, after the Bath skipper was handed a five-week ban when found guilty of "violent conduct" at a Rugby Football Union (RFU) disciplinary hearing.

Grewcock, 29, was dismissed during a Zurich Premiership game between Bath and Saracens nine days ago after kicking Kyran Bracken in the mouth and although the recommended punishment for such an offence is an 84-day ban, the lack of conclusive video evidence, and the support of his victim, has seen him get off relatively lightly.
