Moala discharged over brawl

 

Moala was found guilty on one charge of assault in January and released on bail. At his sentencing the court discharged the Blues player, effectively closing the matter.

 

In a statement, the Blues and New Zealand rugby were happy to accept the outcome of the court, however there remains an employment process to be conducted.

 

A statement read: "The Blues and New Zealand Rugby accept the decision of the court regarding George Moala, who was discharged without conviction on the charge of assault.

 

"With the judicial process complete, there remains an employment process to be concluded by the Blues and New Zealand Rugby over the next few weeks.

 

"Meantime, George will be available for selection and continue to receive professional support in his personal development."
