James Haskell sees red after near-naked cover shot and could miss England's Six Nations startDavid Rogers James Haskell, in action for the British and Irish Lions, could face a ban before England's Six Nations campaign. Former Highlanders flanker James Haskell - fresh from a near-naked newspaper magazine cover shot to promote his new book - risks missing the start of England's Six Nations campaign after a red card in a European Champions Cup match. The Wasps backrower was banished for a late shoulder charge to Harlequins' Welsh international midfielder Jamie Roberts' head in London on Saturday (Sunday NZ Time). His dismissal will result in a visit to the English rugby judiciary and could put his test eligibility in doubt with the Six Nations kicking off on February 2-3. Credit to @Harlequins and apologies to @WaspsRugby fans — James Haskell (@jameshaskell) January 13, 2018 Ad Feedback Roberts, a qualified doctor with 94 Wales caps, accepted the apology in good grace, quipping that Haskell should "bend those arthritic knees" next time.
