England prop Joe Marler will receive no punishment for his "Gypsy boy" comment to Wales prop Samson Lee, Six Nations organisers say.

Marler, who earlier avoided a sanction for striking an opponent, can play in England's final game against France.

The 25-year-old apologised after making the comment during England's 25-21 Six Nations win over Wales on Saturday.

Thoughts? Is it racism or just a bit of banter?

Shouldn't the sanction be for hitting someone, doesn't seem very sportsman like, he's no Jamie Peacock is he? :idc:
