Calum Clark banned for 3 weeks for elbowing

Northampton Saints' Calum Clark has been suspended for 3 weeks after being cited for dangerous play on Worcester’s Donncha O’Callaghan at the weekend.

The RFU discipline panel said: "The panel found this was not a premeditated act but an intentional strike to the head of an opponent that merited a mid-range entry point of three weeks. The player’s remorse before the panel was genuine and heartfelt."

Clark pleaded guilty and is is free to play again on Tuesday 13th December.
