Billy Vunipola, Saracens' number eight, has had his red card overturned following an independent disciplinary hearing arising from his sending off during the Champions Cup clash with the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria. The disciplinary committee decided that there was insufficient force in the contact to Hanekom’s head to warrant a red card. Vunipola is now free to play against Connacht this weekend. This decision comes after his second red card of the year, and it's a boost for Saracens as they continue their hunt for another European title.
