Tuala free to face London Irish as citing is dismissed
Tuala was cited by independent citing commissioner Jay Curts following Saints' win against Worcester Warriors on Boxing Day for 'kicking contrary to World Rugby Law 9.12'.
The Samoan ace contested the charge, which was dismissed by the independent disciplinary panel.
And that means he is free to play again immediately.

"In all the circumstances, the citing is dismissed and the player is free to play with immediate effect.”
