LONDON (Reuters) - England prop Joe Marler has been given a formal warning for abusive comments about former Australia coach Bob Dwyer on Twitter, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Thursday.

Marler, who is not part of the England squad playing in Australia, posted his remarks after Dwyer criticised England's scrummaging during their surprise victory on Saturday.
