The England winger Mark Cueto is free to play in Saturday's second rugby Test against Australia after being cleared of a dangerous tackle charge.

Cueto was cited over a first-half incident involving Wallabies centre Berrick Barnes in Saturday's first Test in Perth, which Australia won 27-17.

The New Zealand judicial officer Peter Hobbs presided over a hearing in Sydney on Monday and dismissed the charge after reviewing the evidence presented.
