George Smith is free to play for Wasps this weekend after he was cleared of striking an opponent with his knee.

The Australia flanker appeared before a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel on Wednesday accused of kneeing James Hook in the head during Saturday's 13-10 defeat at Gloucester.

But a statement from the RFU confirmed the case was dismissed, and Smith will be available to take on Leicester on Saturday.
