Wales’ wing George North has been disciplined by Northampton Saints after missing a training session before their game with Sale Sharks.
Coaching consultant Alan Gaffney intimated following the encounter with the Greater Manchester outfit on March 3 that the back three player did not want to play against the Sharks.
The Saints have duly taken disciplinary action, with North assuming responsibility, and the wing will now be available for the remaining five matches of the season.
"George, Alan Gaffney, Alan Dickens and myself had a set of constructive meetings on his return to the club on Monday," said Saints’ chief executive Mark Darbon. "George accepts the disciplinary action we have taken.
"George has enormous affection for this club and its supporters, and is fully committed to helping the club finish the Aviva Premiership season as strongly as possible. We now consider this matter resolved and won’t be commenting further."
