Stoddart: No additional action

Stoddart was shown an automatic red card by Irish referee Peter Fitzgibbon after receiving two yellows in a game his team lost 49-16 to Clermont Auvergne at Stade Marcel Michelin.

European Rugby Cup independent judicial officer Anthony Davies, who considered the matter by means of written submissions, has decided the red card was sufficient punishment, tournament organisers announced.

Davies concluded that neither yellow card offence involved foul play directed at an opponent and that no additional action was necessary.

It means that Stoddart is available for the Scarlets' Heineken Cup appointment at home to holders Leinster on Saturday.
