London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Oct, 2018 ) :Injury-hit England's problems intensified Thursday when Wasps No 8 Nathan Hughes was given a six-week ban that will see him miss three of their four November Tests, the Rugby Football Union announced.
His disciplinary case, following a citing for punching during an English Premiership game against Gloucester on October 6, was adjourned after the back-row forward tweeted "what a joke" during the initial lengthy hearing on October 10.
Now a two-week punishment for the tweet will run concurrently with the ban for striking an opponent after another marathon hearing that produced a ruling published at 1:00am local time (0000 GMT) Thursday.
That was just some eight-and-a-half hours before England coach Eddie Jones was due to name his squad for the Twickenham Tests with South Africa (November 3), New Zealand (November 10), Japan (November 17) -- all of which Hughes is now set to miss -- and Australia (November 24).
Hughes's fellow back-row forwards Billy Vunipola, Sam Simmonds and Chris Robshaw were among a lengthy casualty list of England players already ruled out of the November series through injury.
