Harlequins' David Howell has been banned for six matches by the Rugby Football League for biting an opponent.
The Australian centre was found guilty by the RFL for biting Catalans scrum-half Remy Marginet during Quins' 48-22 defeat on Saturday.
As the club only have four games remaining this season, Howell's suspension will continue next term.
The 27-year-old was also fined £300.
