A citing complaint against the Connacht scrum half Kieran Marmion has been upheld following an independent Disciplinary Hearing.

Marmion had been cited for a strike on Saracens Neil De Kock but it was decided that no further punishment was warranted.

The 21-year-old is currently part of the extended Ireland panel for the Six Nations.
