Mitchell Prest suspended for high tackle in World Cup match

Fijian forward Mitchell Prest faces a one-match suspension after receiving a Grade 1 careless high tackle charge. The incident occurred during a clash with Australian forward Lindsay Smith in their Rugby League World Cup match in Brisbane. This marks Prest's second offence in as many weeks, as he was previously warned for a similar charge. Prest has contributed significantly for Fiji, starting in both World Cup matches thus far and making a combined total of 176 metres and 54 tackles. Prest will miss Fiji's upcoming match against New Zealand, with an option to plead guilty to avoid a longer ban.
