O’Driscoll is cleared for Cup

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL will be free to play against Munster in the Heineken Cup semi-final on Sunday week.

Border Reivers yesterday confirmed that they would not pursue a citing threat against O’Driscoll, who was suspected by club officials of a stamping offence on Nicky Walker in a Celtic League game last weekend.

But a spokesman for the club said yesterday that, after video analysis, it was decided not to pursue the matter. O’Driscoll had vehemently denied any foul play, but spent the last few days sweating on the final reaction from the Scottish club.
