Beauden Barrett off the hook after red card

Beauden Barrett off the hook after red card
Friday's two stints on the sideline were deemed sufficient punishment for Hurricanes first five-eighth Beauden Barrett.

Beauden Barrett will guide the Hurricanes at Eden Park this Saturday as the star Hurricanes first five‑eighth was cleared to face the Blues in the Super Rugby.

The Sanzaar judicial committee has ruled that his sending off against the Waratahs was sufficient punishment for two deliberate knockdowns.

After initial consideration by a Sanzaar foul play review committee, Barrett was summoned to a hearing via video link in the wake of Friday's red card in the 38‑28 Super Rugby win over the Waratahs in Wellington.

Barrett was twice yellow‑carded, sitting out 10 minutes of the first half and then two at the very end of the match after he was marched.

Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd defended Barrett's actions before the hearing.

The Hurricanes will face the Blues at 7.35pm this Saturday.
