Bristol Bears and England prop Kyle Sinckler will miss the start of the Six Nations after being banned for two weeks for swearing at a referee.
He will miss England's opener against Scotland on 6 February, but will be back to face Italy a week later.
Sinckler, 27, contested the charge of failing to respect the authority of a match official at a hearing on Tuesday.
However, it was ruled he did direct his "aggressive" language towards Karl Dickson in Bristol's win at Exeter.
