Harlequins prop Joe Marler feared his England career would suffer following his latest ban for a kicking offence on Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy. The 25-year-old has revealed those concerns for his Test career led him to seek the help of sports psychologist Jeremy Snape.Marler conceded he was relieved to receive a two-week ban that will see him return for Quins European Challenge Cup final clash with Montpellier in Lyon on Friday night. The England prop is delighted he will be available for the remainder of the campaign, including the tour of Australia.I didnt think Id play again this season, said Marler, who has had several sessions with former England cricketer-turned sports psychologist Snape.I thought Id be having the summer off as well, I thought Id get a ban that would take me off the tour. Marler was given his latest ban following this incident with Arnaud Heguy Im very lucky to be in a position to pull on the shirt for Quins again and even luckier that its a final and a chance to get hands on a trophy. Very lucky.Im raring to go, chomping at the bit to get out there and prove to myself more than anything that I am capable of playing a game of rugby on the edge without being [stupid] basically.Marler, who was also banned for calling Wales Samson Lee Gypsy boy in the Six Nations, kicked out at Heguy in Quins 30-6 Challenge Cup semi-final victory over Grenoble. While Marler remains confident he is winning his own personal battle of wits, he fully accepts England coach Eddie Jones will not stand for any further disciplinary wrangles.The last couple of months just was the final nail really, to go, actually, stop pretending that I can keep dealing with it on my own, said Marler. Joe Marler playing for England against Scotland in the Six Nations Although he denied he had a lot of problems, he added: Im saying theres stuff that needs addressing in and out of rugby that Im getting hold of now. It is making me feel better and so hopefully I can continue on that.Eddie Jones has been in touch and hes been pretty firm. As well as being supportive its more in a come on mate it is time to wind your neck in way.You can only be supportive so many times cant you? If I go out on Friday night and kick someone else in the head then I dont think that he is going to be supportive any more. There is a limit to his support.

CHICAGO -- Lets just ask this straight away: Can Kyle Hendricks, the Chicago Cubs newfound co-ace and Cy Young candidate, translate his success to the postseason? And lets just answer with another question: Has he offered a shred of evidence that he wont?You can certainly ask these things about every single pitcher in the playoffs, so perhaps we should explain why we bother to ask them about Hendricks. The real topic in play here is whether a pitcher as finesse-based as Hendricks is somehow at a disadvantage when it comes to the heightened reality of postseason play. Heres the factoid that seems to dog him everywhere: His average fastball velocity (87.6 mph) ranked 70th out of 74 qualifying big league starters. He was a full 10 mph slower than big league leader Noah Syndergaard. If the latter is Thor, and were nicknaming pitchers after Norse gods, then Hendricks is Odin, the relentless pursuer of knowledge.Knowledge hes always willing to share. When asked what he has learned from Game 1 starter Jon Lester and the other veterans on the Cubbs staff, Hendricks said, Watching the work they do and how they manage a full season start to finish in the big leagues.ddddddddddddHow to get your body ready when it comes to the end of the year for playoffs. When to push it, when to kind of lay off. Just watching them, really, how they go about their business each and every day and even here in the playoffs is really what I learned from them.Given the ubiquity of radar readings, velocity charts and all manner of pitch trackers, its no wonder that close observers of the grand old game have started to favor guys who light up the scoreboard over the types like Hendricks who, you know, just pitch good. Guys like Cubs Hall of Famer Greg Maddux who, at least toward the end of his career, threw even slower than Hendricks. Thats no arbitrary name-drop, either, as Giants manager Bruce Bochy went there, calling Hendricks Maddux-like during his comments before Game 1.
