A player welfare group has described as "hugely concerning" an incident during Saturday's Gallagher Premiership game between Saracens and Harlequins when the television match official appeared to ignore possible foul play because it was highlighted by a television pundit.

Former England international Austin Healey, who was working as part of TNT Sports' team at the match, spotted a clear-out by Harlequins captain Stephan Lewies, when he appeared to slide on his knees into Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell.
