Tana Umaga is free to coach Counties in Sunday's Ranfurly Shield defense against Taranaki.

Umaga has been given a two match suspended ban after facing an NZRU misconduct hearing for insulting match officials.

The two match ban will only come into effect in the event Umaga is the subject of any similar misconduct during the rest of the ITM Cup.
