TV watchdog Ofcom has confirmed it had one complaint about Joe Marler’s ‘Gypsy boy’ comment during the England v Wales game on Saturday.
Ofcom say the complaint is currently under assessment and they aim to make a decision on whether to investigate or not within 15 working days.
England prop Joe Marler - who has already been cited for allegedly striking an opponent during the Six Nations encounter - calling Wales prop Samson Lee "Gypsy boy" during the same match, apologising to Lee for his comments at half-time.
