Cited Matt Kvesic is cleared to play on after incident versus Sale
By Online Editors
Exeter back row Matt Kvesic has escaped a ban after an appearance before an independent disciplinary panel on Tuesday night.
The 27-year-old, who was recently linked with a move to Bristol Bears before they signed Northampton's Mitch Eadie, had been cited for striking with his knee in the 74th minute of the Chiefs’ home defeat last Saturday to Sale.
Kvesic contested the charge which was dismissed by the panel comprising Charles Cuthbert (chair), with Leon Lloyd and Mitch Read.
Cuthbert said: “The panel heard evidence from the player while viewing the video footage. With the benefit of his explanation as to how the incident occurred, the panel concluded that the incident was accidental and not an act of foul play.
"As such the citing was dismissed and the player was free to play with immediate effect.”

True, you might having something in this being their WC Final and not being able to last three big games in three weeks (ala RWC acclimatizing), that was Razor's impetus behind his selections and leadups/preparation for these first 3 weeks (for us).
With these guys being in the first two (into third) months of their season too.
Haha he certainly looked like he'd spoiled the party after the game too, we'll both have to expect he makes it up somehow 😁 I thought your 1 point win over them were the two best performances of the RWC, I think that was NZ's best performance this season too. Too bad we couldn't put a nail in the coffin like we did last week 😉
