England fly-half Toby Flood has been cleared to play in the Six Nations after a citing for an alleged tip tackle was dismissed on Tuesday night.
Flood was cited for a challenge on Andy Goode in last week's 19-14 win over Worcester Warriors.
The Rugby Football Union reviewed video evidence at a disciplinary hearing yesterday and decided to clear Flood of all charges.
Jeremy Summers, chair of the RFU disciplinary panel, said in a statement: "After very careful analysis we could not be satisfied, to that standard required, that the dynamics of the incident had not been caused, or contributed to, significantly by the involvement of other players from both teams."
Flood is now available for selection by England coach Stuart Lancaster for the Twickenham tournament opener against Scotland on Saturday, February 2.
