Steyn would have faced a ban of at least six months if found guilty
|
South Africa utility back Francois Steyn has been cleared of biting Tonga winger Joseph Vaka during Saturday's World Cup game in Lens.
He was charged following an off-the-ball incident that saw both Steyn and Vaka sent to the sin-bin.
The judicial officer accepted 20-year-old Steyn's plea that he did not bite Vaka.
He was supported by Vaka, who said the mark on his hand could have happened by accident during the melee.
