DHL Western Province flank and captain Deon Fourie was cleared of foul play on Wednesday, having being cited after team’s 25-19 Absa Currie Cup win over the Sharks at DHL Newlands last Saturday.

Fourie appeared before a SARU judicial committee in Cape Town on Tuesday for allegedly breaching law 10.4 (m).

But the player was cleared of any infringement, resulting in the citing being dismissed.

In his findings Judicial Officer Advocate Donny Jacobs declared that the evidence presented did not show intent by Fourie to injure Daniel, but rather that the player had tried to free himself from Daniel's grip after being pulled to ground.

Fourie is thus free to resume his Absa Currie Cup duties, but he has been ruled out of this weekend's clash against the Vodacom Blue Bulls with a rib injury with De Kock Steenkamp taking over the captaincy. (See the WP line-up HERE!)
