Danny Care is cleared by the RFU after being arrested in the early hours of Saturday.

Danny Care will face no official punishment from the RFU after being arrested in the early hours of Saturday.

The England and Harlequins scrum-half was arrested and fined on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly at 3am on Saturday after his club's loss to Toulouse in the Heineken Cup.

"It was a silly thing to do - I accept that and apologise completely," Care told The Daily Telegraph.

"It was a tough game and I was out with the team and friends but should have remembered that as a professional player I am on duty throughout the season and need to set a better example to the fans."

Care has reportedly already been cautioned by England interim coach Stuart Lancaster.
