London Scottish fly half Dan Newton will miss four of the exiles' remaining six Championship clashes as they bid for a top four finish.

The 25-year-old was this week handed a five-week ban for acts contrary to good sportsmanship after his yellow card in the 12-12 draw at struggling Plymouth Albion earlier this month.

Newton, who will return in time for the play-offs should Scottish qualify, will be available for the final two regular season matches.
