EP KINGS centre JP du Plessis will receive no further sanction after an SA Rugby Union hearing following the red card he received in the Absa Currie Cup Premier Division match against the Free State Cheetahs in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
Despite being down to 14 men for most of the second half - the EP Kings beat the Cheetahs 32-24 for their first win of the campaign.
In viewing the incident, Advocate Vusi Msiwa ruled that the red card given to Du Plessis in the 46th minute of the match for punching was sufficient punishment.
He ruled that no further sanction was necessary, which means Du Plessis will be available for selection for the Kings' match against the Pumas in Nelspruit on Friday.
Coach Brent Janse van Rensburg names his team on Wednesday.
