Woodcock cleared, faces Wales
Eurosport - Thu, 20 Nov 14:15:00 2008
New Zealand prop Tony Woodcock has been cleared to play in the Test match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.
Woodcock was cited for striking an opponent with his hand during the All Blacks' 22-3 victory over Ireland at Croke Park.
He admitted committing an act of foul play at a disciplinary hearing in Dublin, but IRB judicial officer Professor Lorne Crerar considered it did not warrant a red card and therefore no further sanction was appropriate.
Woodcock is now set to pack down for the third phase of New Zealand's potential grand slam tour, following comfortable victories over Scotland and Ireland.

Thats bull! Quinlan got a 3 week ban for stamping which happens in every match. He punches a player and nothing is done. Must be because of the colour of his jersey.
Bloody lucky.Should count his blessings and learn to control his temper.
