(Reuters) - Scotland wing Duhan van der Merwe will miss the remainder of the Six Nations Championship after he was handed a three-week ban following his red card for Worcester Warriors in their Premiership defeat at London Irish on Saturday.

Van der Merwe was sent off after his attempt to fend off Scotland team mate and fellow wing Kyle Rowe saw his forearm connect with the latter's face.
