Saracens outside half Nicky Little has been handed an 11 week ban by the Rugby Football Union for foul play during a Guinness "A" League fixture at London Irish on 5 September.

The 58-times capped Fijian international was found guilty by the Union's Disciplinary Committee after he was cited for "dangerous charging" against Ross Laidlaw in the match at The Avenue won 34-33 by the Exiles.

Little could be out of action until 22 November, however the player and the club have 14 days to appeal against the suspension.
