SAMOA’s Junior Paulo has had his one-match ban overturned and so will be free to play against England on Saturday.
Paulo had been charged with a Grade A Other Striking Offences during Sunday’s RLWC2021 quarter final game against Tonga.
Tribunals are independent of the RLWC2021, made up of a legally qualified Chair and assisted by side members with relevant experience such as ex-professional players, coaches or match officials.
Those on the independent judiciary included HHJ Sarah Wright, Wilf George and Lindsay Arnold.
