Tadhg Furlong has been cleared by the Independent Disciplinary Committee of any foul play after an allegation that he grabbed the groin of Munster No 8 Gavin Coombes during a United Rugby Championship match. The committee, comprising Simon Thomas, Attie Heyns and Pamela Woodman, unanimously concluded that the citing complaint should be dismissed under Law 9.27, noting that Coombes gave an honest account of the incident.
The 33‑year‑old prop remains available for selection in Ireland’s Nations Championship campaign, where Andy Farrell’s side will face Argentina, Fiji and South Africa in November.
