James Fisher-Harris learns suspension verdict for World Cup final after illegal act in semi
New Zealand are breathing a sigh of relief ahead of the Rugby League World Cup final after James Fisher-Harris escaped with a warning for raising his knees on Saturday night. The Kiwis captain was placed on report after lifting his knee and hitting Solesi Foketi in the head during a hit-up in the 12th minute of the semi-final.
The match review committee handed down its verdict on Sunday morning, and although Fisher-Harris copped a charge for dangerous contact he only received a warning. If the incident occurred in the NRL it would have resulted in a fine, but there's no fines in the World Cup and players receive warnings for a first-time offence.

Kalyn Ponga: New Zealand reap rewards of gamble on 'freak of nature' at Rugby League World Cup
"He's a tough character and he was so adamant he was playing."
Kalyn Ponga, in the words of his head coach Stacey Jones, was never going to miss New Zealand's Rugby League World Cup semi-final.
But it was a remarkable return to action for a player whose tournament turned from dream to nightmare just over three weeks ago.
In the World Cup opener against Australia in Sydney on 15 October, Ponga seemed to be enjoying a perfect New Zealand debut. Then it all went wrong.
The 28-year-old scored two second-half tries but was forced off late in the game – having played for 20 minutes with a broken left forearm sustained in a tackle with Cameron Munster. The Kiwis went on to lose 24-22; Ponga required surgery.
