Harlequins fine Danny Care following arrest

Harlequins have hit scrum-half Danny Care with an undisclosed fine following the England player's arrest at the weekend

The 24-year-old was arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning for drunk and disorderly behaviour, but it emerged this morning that the Rugby Football Union will not punish the player.

Harlequins director Conor O'Shea told the club's official website: "We have a crucial Heineken Cup match at the weekend in Toulouse, so it was important we acted quickly.

"We take it very seriously; however, from the club's point of view, a line will be drawn under the incident and we will get on with our preparation for the match. Danny has apologised to his team and understands fully what is expected of him."

The fine will be in the form of a donation to the Teenage Cancer Unit in UCLH on Tottenham Court Road.
