Alun Wyn Jones stunned as smirking Joe Marler grabs his penis amid huge melee in England v Wales match

We've had plenty of memorable moments in Wales v England Six Nations clashes over the years, but none like what unfolded in the opening minutes of today's match.

Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones was left incredulous when Joe Marler was caught on camera grabbing his penis as the skipper tried to separate players following a scuffle.

Just after the 10-minute mark, Wales rattled over in a bid to open their account but no try was the ruling as George North knocked on. It prompted a prolonged melee at the whitewash when England captain Owen Farrell shoved George North in the chest.

Almost every player on the pitch then became involved, with scrum-half Tomos Williams in the thick of it and Maro Itoje restraining Ross Moriarty as he fronted up to the opposition.

And, as Jones tried to separate players, he was left stunned by smirking Marler's actions, looking to the officials in bewilderment.

Jones' face said it all as he reacted to what happened.

England were eventually penalised for Farrell starting the afters, but referee Ben O'Keeffe instructed both skippers to calm their players down.
