Scarlets number eight Sione Kalamafoni will not serve a suspension after being sent off against Cardiff in the URC.
Kalamafoni was shown a red card for a high tackle on Cardiff replacement Gwilyn Bradley early in the second half of Scarlets’ 35-20 win.
A URC disciplinary panel decided the red card was sufficient punishment.
Kalamafoni is therefore available for the return fixture in Cardiff on 9 April.
The disciplinary panel of Sibonile Khoza (South Africa), Achille Reali (Italy) and Rose-Alice Murphy (Ireland) agreed with the decision of the referee to issue a red card.
They found though there was enough to warrant mitigation with indirect contact to the head, actions by a second tackler and a drop in height by the ball carrier.
