England flanker Tom Wood has been cleared to play against Australia on Saturday after being warned, and not cited, for striking Wales full-back Liam Williams.

Williams' evening was ended in the 67th minute when he was struck on the head by Wood's shin as the Northampton forward attempted to kick a loose ball towards the Welsh line.

The match citing commissioner, Maurizio Vancini, has issued a warning that equates to a yellow card in sanction, clearing Wood to face the Wallabies at Twickenham.
