Matt Kvesic citing charge dismissed

The charge against Exeter back-row Matt Kvesic for allegedly striking an opponent with his knee has been dismissed by a disciplinary panel.

He was cited by an independent citing commissioner following the match between Exeter Chiefs and Sale Sharks on Saturday 25 January 2020. This was for striking an opponent with the knee in the 74th minute of the match, contrary to World Rugby Law 9.12.

Kvesic contested the charge which was deemed "accidental, and not an act of foul play". He is free to play again immediately.
