ENGLAND FULLBACK MIKE Brown will not be cited for the kick which connected with the head of Conor Murray.
The Harlequins man was attempting to kick the ball out of a late ruck in front of England’s posts during the 21 – 10 win over Ireland in Twickenham, but left Murray bloodied and needing eight stitches.
Eddie Jones defended his players’ actions in the wake of Saturday’s win. The incident was reviewed by the TMO and referee Romaine Poite during the game and no citing complaint was made by commissioner Douglas Hunter today.
Brown will be free to play the remaining two games of England’s Six Nations campaign against Wales and France.
Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni was the only player to be cited from round three, the veteran tighthead will have a ‘stamping’ case to answer for this incident in the defeat to Scotland.
