Bath wing Anthony Watson receives two-week RFU ban

By , Football League Editor
England wing Anthony Watson is suspended for two weeks after being sent off during Bath's game against Saracens.

Bath and England wing Anthony Watson has been banned for two weeks by the Rugby Football Union after being sent off in an Aviva Premiership match against Saracens earlier this month.

Watson pleaded guilty to two charges of tackling Alex Goode while in the air and then using "offensive, inappropriate and unprofessional language and behaviour towards the fourth official".

He was given a one-week ban for each and therefore will be free to play again from April 25.

The two-week suspension means that Watson is free to play on England's summer tour of Australia.
