Ellis Genge has responded to an online clip that some supporters believed showed the England prop headbutting one of the Wales players.
After the clip went viral, lots of fans called for the forward to be cited ahead of the Autumn Nations Cup final against France at Twickenham next weekend.
However, Genge has broken his silence to squash the suggestion that he used his head with a tweet.
“Thanks for all the Twitter TMO reviews but I didn’t headbutt anyone, thanks for all the messages of support for today – love this group!” wrote Genge.
