Harlequins scurm-half Danny Care has been handed a one-match ban after an internal disciplinary hearing following his first-half yellow card at Leeds Carnegie last Friday.
The 22-year-old was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on Leeds number eight Rhys Oakley and also faces an RFU disciplinary hearing next week over the incident after being cited by citing commissioner John Byett.
Care will sit out this weekend's Heineken Cup clash against Sale Sharks at the Stoop, a game Quins must win to keep the European Cup hopes alive.
