LONDON (Reuters) - Saracens number eight Billy Vunipola has been cleared to play in this weekend's Champions Cup semi-final against Clermont Auvergne after escaping punishment for striking an opponent.
The powerful 22-year-old England forward was cited for hitting Leicester fullback Mathew Tait with his head during a Premiership match but was exonerated by a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel on Tuesday, the RFU said in a statement.
