Ireland lock Paul O'Connell will not face any action over the stamping allegations which erupted after yesterday's win over Namibia.
O'Connell was accused by Namibian coach Dave Waterston of deliberately treading on opposite number Archie Graham during a rolling Irish maul.
The incident was referred to citing commissioner Douglas Hunter who, after viewing various replays, has decided O'Connell should not face disciplinary action.
An RWC statement read: "Having had the opportunity to view the incident from all the available angles, the Citing Commissioner has, in this instance, decided that the threshold test as to whether or not the offence warranted a sending off was not reached and, as a consequence, no player involved in the incident will be cited and no further action will be taken.
It means that O'Connell will be free to play in the vital Group A qualification decider against Argentina in Adelaide on Sunday.
