English rugby player Joe Marler could face disciplinary action after grabbing an opponent's genitals.
The incident occurred during the Six Nations match between England and Wales on Saturday when Marler squeezed the groin area of Welsh captain Alun Wyn Jones.
Marler is one of rugby's more colorful characters -- renowned for winding up opponents and giving entertaining interviews -- but his latest act could prove a step too far.
Jones, whose side was on the end of a 33-30 defeat at Twickenham, called for the episode to be reviewed by a disciplinary panel.
"Well 138 Tests for my country, you know, if I react, I get a red card so it's tough isn't it? Hopefully World Rugby have a look at it," he said, referring to the organization that regulates the sport.
"Joe's a good bloke. Lots of things happen on a rugby field. My question is, it's difficult as a captain these days because you can't speak to a ref about anything it feels. I look at the touch judge, obviously he didn't see what happened and that's fine.
"But there's a lot of footage that's been shown obviously. It seems there's a lot of supporters that saw what happened. It's just very frustrating, the fact that we talk a lot about TMOs (television match officials) and footage review but there doesn't seem to be a lot of it happening (during the game)."
World Rugby's laws state that a player found guilty of "grabbing, twisting or squeezing the genitals" can face a ban of between 12 and over 24 weeks.
A player can be cited up to 48 hours after the end of a match.
