Flying Fijians halfback Nikola Matawalu has been cleared by the RaboDirect PRO12 Disciplinary Committee in Cardiff for an alleged incident of foul play when he featured for his Glasgow Warriors side against Munster last Saturday.
Matawalu was cited for biting Munster’s Donncha O’Callaghan but the committee ruled that the contact was accidental and therefore not an act of foul play and the citing was dismissed.
Matawalu is free to resume playing immediately.
The Flying Fijians will play Portugal in their first match next Sunday before playing Italy on the 17th then Romania on the 24th of next month.
Their last match is against the Barbarians on the 1st of December.
Meanwhile, in other international test matches this weekend, the All Blacks will meet Japan at 6:30pm on Saturday and England will host the Wallabies at 4:30am Sunday.
