Default Palu resumes training after police clearance

Wallabies forward Wycliff Palu will return to full training with the NSW Waratahs after police cleared him of any involvement in a nightclub incident which resulted in a patron being injured.

Police have met NSW rugby officials regarding the incident, which occurred in Sydney's west three weeks ago.

No.8 Palu was stood down by the Waratahs this week.

"Wycliff has been treated as a witness only in the police investigation," NSWRU chief executive Jim L'Estrange said in a statement today.

"As a result of the meeting with police I have withdrawn the disciplinary charge against Wycliff and he is free to resume team duties.

"We don't apologise for being decisive because consistency in our approach to disciplinary matters is paramount to our game.

"The good news is that Wycliff has no case to answer and we can get on with the job."

Palu has played 17 Tests for Australia and featured prominently in Australia's failed World Cup campaign this year.
