Conor Murray will be available for Ireland's November International commitments after he avoided suspension at a Rabo Pro 12 disciplinary hearing today.

The Munster scrum half was involved in an altercation with Glasgow Warriors’ Niko Matawalu during their Pro 12 clash.

But the three-man disciplinary committee has decided that Murray does not merit a red card, although they acknowledged that foul play occurred.

The decision frees up Murray to take part in Ireland's November International series. It is also a boost for new Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt as British and Irish Lion Murray becomes an increasingly important cog in the green shirt.
