Ospreys flanker Marty Holah has won his appeal against a two-week ban and is free to play against Munster in the Heineken Cup on Sunday.
On Tuesday the former New Zealand international was found guilty of breaches of Law 10.4 - namely tripping an opponent and playing an opponent without the ball, which were both considered 'mid-range' offences - during Saturday's Magners League match against
Edinburgh.
However, a WRU statement on Friday evening read: "The WRU professional disciplinary panel, chaired by Roger Morris, held an appeal hearing this evening at the
Millennium Stadium relating to citing complaints brought by the match citing commissioner John Charles against Ospreys player
Marty Holah following the Magners League match against Edinburgh on Saturday, 4 December.
"The complaints against Holah were for alleged breaches of Law 10.4 (d) tripping an opponent and Law 10.4 (f) playing an opponent without the ball.
"The player was found guilty on both counts at the original hearing held on Tuesday, and awarded a ban for a period of two weeks from the date of the hearing, after mitigating factors were taken into account.
"At the hearing this evening the panel upheld the appeal and therefore removed the ban imposed, making Holah free to play for his region this weekend and beyond."
