 Phillip made his international debut this season |
Scotland centre Tom Philip has been cleared of foul play over a citing incident against Ireland last Saturday. The Edinburgh player was reported for a high tackle on Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll that was not punished by match referee Nigel Williams.
He appeared before a Six Nations disciplinary panel which decreed the tackle was only worthy of a yellow card, rather than a red.
The panel does not have the power to issue yellow card penalties.
Philip could have faced a ban of up to eight weeks if found guilty of a more serious offence.
There were fears he may have missed Edinburgh's Heineken Cup quarter-final against Toulouse on 10 April.
