Joe Marler faces possible disciplinary action for verbally provoking Bristol flanker Jake Heenan as Harlequins slumped to a 15-12 Gallagher Premiership defeat.

Heenan was incensed by something the England prop said in the second quarter at Twickenham Stoop, igniting a large scuffle, but referee Karl Dickson instead penalised the Bears.

Bristol captain Steven Luatua had urged Dickson to punish Marler because of his comments, but the official only stated that it was not in the spirit of the game.

Marler will discover on Wednesday if he is to be cited by the match commissioner for an incident that could extend his already lengthy disciplinary record.

“I brought Jake over from New Zealand to Connacht and to Bristol. He’s like a son to our family and I have never seen him like that,” Bears director of rugby Pat Lam said.

“It’s best to say one of the areas we are all trying to work on is the spirit of the game. I love Joe Marler but something was said and there was a reaction from Jake I have never seen before.

“We are all custodians of the game – players, coaches – and one thing we all value and we all work hard to keep is the right values and spirit. Jake reacted to something that was said. That’s all I know what happened.”

Harlequins head coach Tabai Matson was aware of the incident but insisted he did not know the nature of Marler’s comments to Heenan.

“Joe does tease people. I don’t know what was said but Joe’s quite antagonistic. He’s hard to play against and I thought Karl Dickson handled it well,” Matson said.

Quins pounded away for virtually the entire second half but could manage only one try through wing Cadan Murley, having trailed 15-5 at the interval.

They turned down a shot at goal that could have levelled the score with four minutes to go in search of the match-winning try that was almost delivered by Andre Esterhuizen, only for desperate defending to deny the South African centre.

Matson refused to blame his team for rolling the dice in the closing minutes.

“We absolutely back our players and our captain to be really positive. In hindsight it’s take the three, take the draw. Maybe exit and have another crack,” Matson said.

“But one of the things I love about joining this club is the positive intent. If there’s an opportunity to score a try we’ll go for that first.

“And so I tip my hat to the decision. Clearly it cost us, but I tip my hat.”

Does a crowd have the right to boo their team if they're not being entertained?

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony: How LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY Saved My $1 Million

I never imagined I would be in a situation like this. In January 2025, I mistakenly transferred $1 million worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address during a high-pressure transaction. It was a moment of carelessness that nearly cost me everything. The wallet I sent it to was untraceable, and I was told by several "experts" that once crypto is gone, it’s gone for good.

I was devastated. That money represented years of savings, business investments, and future plans. I couldn't sleep or think straight. I reached out to different platforms and forums, hoping someone might help, but it felt hopeless—until I was referred to LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY .

From the first moment I contacted them, I could tell this wasn’t just another "recovery scam." Their team was professional, clear in their communication, and, most importantly, they didn’t make unrealistic promises. They walked me through their process step by step, and while I was still skeptical, I had nothing left to lose.

To my amazement, within just a few weeks, LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY used their rare level of expertise and deep hacking skills to trace, access, and recover the entire $1 million in Bitcoin. They achieved what I was told was impossible.

This company is the real deal. Not only did they retrieve my funds, but they also educated me on how to protect myself from future risks. I am forever grateful to the LION Cybersecurity team. If you're in a similar situation, don’t give up hope—these are the people you want on your side and they can be contacted through either of the following channels;

Ronan O'Gara eyes huge Six Nations star for free-falling La Rochelle

Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered.As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.In the midst of this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES provided a clear,breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds.From the moment I reached out to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , their team approached my case faster . They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process.
