SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia back Karmichael Hunt is free to return to play Super Rugby next week after being deemed to have served a four-match ban imposed for a code of conduct breach following his arrest for possession of drugs at the end of last year.

The former rugby league international escaped a conviction at Brisbane Magistrates last month, though, receiving small fines for possession of the prescription tranquilizer Xanax and for missing a summons to appear at a police station.
