Watch: Marler’s ‘ball-tampering’ leaves Fourie fuming
Joe Marler will face no disciplinary repercussions following what seems to be an inappropriate touch on flanker Deon Fourie.
Harlequins prop Joe Marler left Deon Fourie angry after grabbing the DHL Stormers veteran in an uncompromising manner during the Champions Cup last-16 match in Cape Town.
A player notorious for pushing the letter of the law, Marler was at it again as Harlequins suffered a playoff defeat to the Stormers over the weekend.

Marler has not been cited for his actions at Cape Town Stadium, as the window has officially closed.
