Joe Marler sorry for 'gypsy boy' comment and will accept World Rugby ruling

Joe Marler has apologised for calling Wales prop Samson Lee a "gypsy boy", and insisted he is not a racist ahead of a World Rugby misconduct hearing on Tuesday.

Harlequins front-rower Marler escaped with a reprimand after insulting Scarlets prop Lee in England's 25-21 RBS 6 Nations win over Wales last month, but could face a retrospective ban from World Rugby.
