Fijian prop charged by MRC after Fiji beats Cook Islands 40-12

Mitchell Prest of Fiji has been charged by the Match Review Committee following Fiji's 40-12 win against the Cook Islands on October 15 in Newcastle. Prest received a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle charge for an incident with Cameron Brown shortly after the match began. Although Prest was warned due to no prior offences, a challenge to the charge could lead to a one-match suspension if unsuccessful. Fiji dominated the first half with a 28-0 lead, while the Cook Islands gained some momentum in the second half with two tries. Next, the Cook Islands will face New Zealand in Christchurch, while Fiji takes on Australia at Suncorp Stadium.
