Default Joe Marler: England prop avoids sanction for 'Gypsy boy' comment



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?
