Billy Vunipola, Saracens' number eight, had his red card from the Champions Cup match against the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld overturned. This was his second red card of the year, which was issued due to a shoulder change. The decision was based on 'insufficient force' in the contact. The independent disciplinary hearing, which also included a case against Kalaveti Ravouvou for a dangerous tackle, allows Vunipola to play in the upcoming match against Connacht.
