LONDON (Reuters) - England captain Owen Farrell was given a five-match ban on Tuesday following his red card for a dangerous high tackle playing for Saracens on Saturday -- leaving him free to feature for his country in their October and November internationals.
The suspension means he will miss Saracens' European Cup quarter-final at Ireland's Leinster, further potential games in that competition and several matches in the Premiership, from which the club will be automatically relegated this season after breaching salary cap rules.
