Cox: Handed a one-week ban

Cox was cited following the second-half incident in the Heineken Cup clash lst weekend, and that complaint was upheld on Thursday by independent judicial officer Robert Williams.

Williams decided the offence was low-end in terms of its seriousness level, with a two-week entry point, which he then reduced by 50% after taking into account Cox's guilty plea, clean record and demonstration of remorse.

Cox is free to play again on November 24, meaning he is unavailable for Edinburgh's Heineken Cup appointment with Racing Metro at Murrayfield on Friday night.
