WALES full-back Lee Byrne has been cleared to play in Saturday's match against England at Twickenham.

Byrne won an appeal against a two-week ban imposed after his brief appearance as a 16th player in the Ospreys' Heineken Cup win over Leicester ten days ago. An independent appeal committee decided Byrne's sanction should be varied to a 5,000 fine.
