Sale Sharks' scrum-half Faf de Klerk has avoided suspension after his red card in the Anglo-Welsh cup win at Scarlets.
De Klerk was sent off following two yellow cards in the space of two second-half minutes for technical offences.
An RFU statement read: "The player consented to the matter being dealt with on papers.
"The sanction table set out at Appendix 1 to RFU Regulation 19 determines that the sanction for two yellow cards (where both are given for a technical offence) is sending off sufficient.
"The player is free to play again immediately."
Despite the South African's dismissal, Sale defeated Scarlets 45-18.
