Joe Marler decision should end 'Gypsy boy' matter - Ritchie.
The decision by Six Nations bosses not to punish Joe Marler over remarks to Wales' Samson Lee should end the matter, says RFU chief Ian Ritchie.
The England prop referred to Lee, who is from the Traveller community, as "Gypsy boy" during England's win at Twickenham.
The Six Nations accepted Marler's private and public apology and imposed no punishment.
"As far as I'm concerned that should be the end of the matter," said Ritchie.
World Rugby has since begun an investigation into the process behind clearing Marler and could yet enforce sanctions on the 25-year-old - but Ritchie has backed the Six Nations' disciplinary rulings.
"Let's take some perspective and let's not deflect from what we did in terms of the Grand Slam," added Ritchie.
