Citing complaint against Tadhg Furlong dismissed

Tadhg Furlong has had a citing arising from an incident in the game against Munster last weekend dismissed by an independent disciplinary committee. He is free to play and will be eligible for Ireland’s opening Nations Championship match against Argentina on Friday week at the Aviva Stadium.

The Wexford native was accused of committing an act of foul play on Munster number eight Gavin Coombes in the first half of their clash at the Aviva Stadium last Saturday, breaching Law 9.27, which states: “A player must not do anything that is against the spirit of good sportsmanship, including but not limited to grabbing, twisting or squeezing the genitals.”
