WASPS forward Joe Worsley has hit back at claims from Harlequins skipper Will Skinner that the feigning of blood injuries is rife in top-level rugby.

Quins were fined £259,000 and had winger Tom Williams banned for four months after he used a capsule of fake blood to force a late substitution.

Skinner claimed the tactic was common but flanker Worsley said: “I am actually annoyed by people from Harlequins suggesting that other teams are cheating. They are not. Full stop. It would be madness to do it.”
