Wallabies flanker Dean Mumm has been cleared to face England at Twickenham this Sunday by a World Rugby independent disciplinary committee.
Mumm was sin‑binned in the second minute of Australia's 27‑24 loss to Ireland after a lifting tackle and subsequently cited for the offence.
The 32‑year‑old appeared at a hearing in London where he was informed no further action would be taken against him.
The NSW Waratahs forward sat before a three‑man disciplinary committee chaired by Welshman Simon Thomas, who accepted his argument that although the tackle warranted a yellow card it was not a red card offence and he should be free to play.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says that it is a good result as the tackle did not meet the red card threshold.
The Wallabies play England at 3.30am Sunday.
