Ryan Wilson cleared of testicle grabbing
Wilson was cited for grabbing the testicles of Northampton's scrum-half Lee Dickson in a European Champions Cup match this past weekend. Under World Rugby's Sanctions for Foul Play, Law 10.4 (m), Wilson faced a minimum suspension of 12 weeks.
He pleaded not guilty after the incident and the judicial officer hearing the case was "not satisfied to the required standard that the act of foul play as alleged had been committed". He was named in the Super Rugby 2016 squad on Tuesday and the dismissal of the charges means he is free to play.
