Harlequins Flanker Emily Robinson Banned for Five Weeks Following Headbutt Incident

Robinson's ban, initially deemed worthy of 10 weeks, was reduced due to her remorse and good conduct record.

  • Emily Robinson, England and Harlequins flanker, has been banned for five weeks for headbutting Saracens’ Sydney Gregson during their Premiership Women’s Rugby match.
  • The incident occurred after Gregson pushed 18-year-old Quins team-mate Ella Cromack, triggering Robinson's violent reaction.
  • Robinson accepted the charge and expressed remorse, noting that she had apologised to Gregson following the game.
  • The headbutt was initially deemed worthy of a 10-week ban, but was reduced to five weeks due to Robinson's conduct, remorse, and record.
  • Robinson will miss Harlequins’ next five fixtures against Exeter, Gloucester-Hartpury, Leicester, Loughborough and Bristol.
