England international Joe Marler has issued an apology after his on-field comments sparked a mass brawl.
Marler, 32, faces a potential ban from the RFU, over comments he made to Jake Heenan during Harlequins' clash with Bristol at The Stoop on Tuesday.
The Bears won the tight encounter 15-12 but it was marred by ugly scenes at a scrum when prop Marler appeared to say something that incensed Heenan.
