Munster captain and back-row Peter O’Mahony is free to play following a judicial review, which dealt with his two yellow cards received in the PRO14 Round One fixture against Scarlets.
O’Mahony was shown two separate yellow cards by referee Sam Grove-White, both under Law 9.11 – Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others.
The 31-year-old Ireland international was sent off after receiving his second yellow of the fixture.
Sufficient punishment
The judicial officer, Sheriff Kathrine Mackie (Scotland), found after referring to the methodology in the disciplinary rules and the application of mitigating and aggravating features, that the sending off was sufficient. The player is available for selection on Saturday.
Munster’s next match is against Edinburgh in the PRO14 at Thomond Park this weekend.
