Samoa skipper Junior Paulo available for semi-final match this weekend

Samoa skipper Junior Paulo will be available to play in their first-ever Rugby League World Cup semi-final this weekend.

This comes after his one-match ban was overturned after an appeal.

Paulo was initially banned for striking as teammate and star fullback Joseph Suaali’i escaped a ban for raising his knee in a tackle.

The three other semi-finalists have avoided bans, with defending champions Australia facing New Zealand in the other tie.

Samoa will play England in the semi final at 2.30am Sunday while in the first semi final Australia will play New Zealand at 7.45am Saturday.
