England international Joe Marler set to complete 10-week ban without missing a game

England prop Joe Marler is set to complete his 10-week ban without having a miss a game following the pandemic coronavirus.

Marler was handed the ban in March for grabbing the genitals of Wales skipper Alun Wyn Jones in the opening half of the Six Nations game that England went on to win 33-30.

Under the guidelines of World Rugby, the ban was set to cover a 12-week period during which Harlequins were due to play 10 times with each week corresponding to a game.

The ban was originally set to end on 7th June which will not be extended as the games were suspended following the outbreak of coronavirus which means Marler will be available to play when the Premiership resumes.

Meanwhile, centre Manu Tuilagi's four-week ban for a dangerous tackle on George North has already came to an end on 14th April.
