Springbok centre Francois Steyn has been cleared to play in the remainder of the World Cup, after a charge of biting against him was dismissed on Tuesday.
Steyn was cited for an alleged bite on an opponent during South Africa's 30-25 World Cup Pool A win over Tonga at Stade Felix Bollaert at the weekend.
He appeared at a hearing in Paris on Tuesday, where the case was dismissed.
Steyn was cited following an altercation between himself and Tongan wing Joseph Vaka in the 63rd minute of the encounter. Both were yellow-carded by referee Wayne Barnes of England.
Vaka claimed at the time that he had been bitten on the finger by Steyn. However, the 20-year-old Bok back has proclaimed his innocence.
