(Reuters) - England and Sale Sharks winger Denny Solomona has been banned for four weeks after being found guilty of verbally abusing Worcester Warriors flyhalf Jamie Shillcock, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Friday.

Referee Andrew Jackson's microphone picked up Shillcock complaining that he had twice been the target of an alleged "homophobic slur" made by Solomona during Sale's 58-25 Premiership win over Worcester last month.
