Best receives 18-week suspension

Northampton and Ireland flanker Neil Best has been handed an 18-week ban after pleading guilty to a charge of eye-gouging.
Best was cited for making contact with the eye or eye area of Wasps number eight James Haskell with his hand in the Premiership match on 20 September.
The 29-year-old, who joined Saints from Ulster in the summer, will not be allowed to play again until 28 January.
