# Rugby: Leinster prop Tadhg Furlong escaped a sanction after allegedly groping an opponent in last weekend’s United Rugby Championship match against Munster. He was cited and expected to receive a hefty ban, but a disciplinary hearing cleared him, citing there was no sufficient evidence of foul play. Furlong is thus available to play for Ireland in next month’s Nations Championship Test against the Springboks in Dublin. Bok and Bulls prop Jan-Hendrik Wessels received a nine-week ban after a similar incident last year.
