Six Nations 2016

Rugby Football Union chief Ian Ritchie is satisfied Joe Marler's 'gypsy boy' comment to Samson Lee has been dealt with in the right way.

Marler was not sanctioned after verbally abusing the Wales prop in England's 25-21 win over Wales at Twickenham earlier this month.

The Six Nations committee accepted his private and public apology as sufficient and chose not to impose any punishment.

World Rugby has since launched inquiries into the process of his investigation and could enforce sanctions on the 25-year-old.

Dan Biggar believes that Wales are "in pretty good shape" at the conclusion of this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship.

While fly-half Biggar accepts that Wales' title hopes were undone by a first-half horror show against England at Twickenham, they can still reflect on a runners-up finish, while also scoring more points and tries than any other team.

Wales Under-20s have made history by winning their first junior Six Nations Grand Slam.

They took on Italy Under-20's at Eirias Park with a 35-6 win including tries from Shaun Evans, Harrison Keddie and Joe Thomas.

The team have already scooped the Triple Crown having already beaten Ireland, Scotland, France and England.

Wales Under-20s have levelled the score 6-6 just before half-time against Italy Under-20's tonight.

The home side have never previously won the Six Nations championship or a Grand Slam at Under-20s level.

World Rugby has requested further information from Six Nations Rugby, after they decided not to sanction England prop Joe Marler.

Marler was heard using offensive language towards Wales prop Samson Lee during the clash last weekend.

Marler has been cleared to play in the upcoming Six Nations match against France by the tournament's disciplinary committee.

The Welsh Rugby Union objected publicly to the decision, a move which angered England coach Eddie Jones.

No action will be taken over England's Joe Marler striking Wales prop Rob Evans during last weekend's Six Nations game.

Marler appeared before a disciplinary committee in London today, which concluded that while it upheld the citing complaint, the act wouldn't have warranted a red card and so no sanction would be imposed.
