James Davies handed three-week ban

Scarlets flanker James Davies has received a three-week suspension by a disciplinary panel after admitting foul language and making an obscene gesture in the 31-20 loss at Toulon.

The 25-year-old, who helped Great Britain's men's sevens team win a silver medal at the Rio Olympics four months ago, will miss next Sunday's European Challenge Cup match with Toulon and the Welsh derby games against Ospreys and Cardiff Blues.

The panel believed the offence was at the "low end of World Rugby's sanctions".

Meanwhile, Davies said he expressed his regret to match referee Greg Garner during and after the game at Stade Felix-Mayol.

On Monday, Scarlets issued a statement in which Davies said: "During the heat of battle I lost my composure and said and did things I deeply regret.

"I apologised to referee Mr Garner both during and after the game but would like to reiterate my sincerest apologies publicly."

The Scarlets have also announced that an internal investigation under their disciplinary procedure is also in progress.
