Chris Ashton has had his red card overturned and been freed to rewrite the ending to his eventful career.
The former England wing, who retires this summer, was sent off on Saturday for a dangerous tackle on Harlequins wing Cadan Murley which appeared to rule him out of Leicester’s post-season.
But Tigers successfully argued that the offence was worthy of no more than a yellow card and Ashton can play in Sunday’s play-off semi-final at Sale.
