Hurricanes playmaker Beauden Barrett has escaped punishment for his red card against the Waratahs.
Barrett was found guilty by a Sanzaar Judicial Committee Hearing of contravening Law 10.2(a), after he received two yellow cards for deliberate knockdowns.
However, he will receive no further sanction for the offence.
Barrett, who wasa standout in the match, later admitted he needed to improve his technique, when attempting an intercept.
"With respect to sanction the Judicial Committee ruled, after considering a number of factors, including the player's exemplary disciplinary record, that the player's ordering off merited no further sanction," Sanzaar said, in a statement.
Barrett will be free to play for the Hurricanes, when they face the Blues at Eden Park on Saturday.
Meanwhile, NSW Waratahs prop Sekope Kepu has been given a one-game Super Rugby ban, after receiving his third yellow card of the season.
He was penalised for a late and high shot on Jordie Barrett in the 27th minute of last Friday's loss to the Hurricanes, with Sanzaar giving him a post-match sanction for the hit, meaning Kepu had to face the Foul Play Committee.
His ban, issued on Monday, means Kepu will miss the Waratahs' round-nine clash against the Kings on Friday week, due to Daryl Gibson's side having the bye this week.
