Lebanon prop Kayne Kalache has avoided punishment after being accused by Leeds Rhinos forward James Bentley of grabbing his testicles. The incident took place during the Cedars' victory over Ireland which saw them take a huge step towards qualification to the quarter-finals.
The incident took place in the opening ten minutes of the contest, with Bentley left in severe discomfort following the alleged incident. Bentley made his feelings felt to the referee which resulted in the incident being checked out by the World Cup match review panel.
However, following analysis, Kalache has not been charged. In the minutes of the latest disciplinary meeting, it was decided that the footage available was inconclusive and couldn't determine exactly what had happened. The minutes read: "Footage inconclusive. Player appears to push off opponent to regain feet. Contact accidental."
