Wasps' Eastmond gets six-week ban

The 28-year-old appeared before an independent disciplinary panel. 

He was shown a red card by referee Wayne Barnes for a dangerous tackle on Harlequins' Marcus Smith contrary to law 9.13 in the 17th minute.

Eastmond was also cited by independent citing commissioner Paul Burke for a separate dangerous tackle on Harlequins' Ross Chisholm contrary to law 9.13 in the 15th minute of the same match.

Eastmond pleaded guilty to the charges. He was given a six-week suspension and is free to play again on April 17.

Panel chairman Sean Enright said: "The panel determined that each individual offence merited a mid-range entry point of six weeks.

"Thereafter the player was entitled to full 50% mitigation on account of his guilty plea, clear record and remorse for both incidents.

"This reduced the sanction on each charge to three weeks. The panel determined that these periods should run consecutively meaning a total ban of six weeks.

"We were satisfied that the running of the sanctions consecutively was proportionate to the level of overall offending to all of the circumstances,"
