England prop Joe Marler has been cited for striking Wales front row Rob Evans in Saturday's RBS 6 Nations victory at Twickenham.
The incident of verbal abuse, in which Marler called Samson Lee "gypsy boy", is still under investigation with the citing officer having 48 hours after the final whistle to lodge a complaint.
The Rugby Football Union released a statement on Sunday afternoon revealing that Marler apologised to Lee at half-time and was "reminded by (head coach) Eddie Jones of his responsibilities as an England player after the game".
Meanwhile, Marler's boss at Harlequins Conor O'Shea told RTÉ Sport that the prop's behaviour was "unacceptable".
