Vodafone Fiji Bati pair Mikaele Ravalawa and Kitione Kautoga have been charged with Careless High Tackle offences following their win over the Cook Islands in yesterday's Pacific Championships clash in Port Moresby.

Kautoga's Grade 2 offence carries a fine of 13 percent of his match fees with an early guilty plea, increasing to 20 percent of his match fees should he challenge the charge and be found guilty at the judiciary.

Ravalawa's tackle on Kayal Iro in the third minute of the match was classified as a Grade 1 offence and will see the Dragons winger fined 7 percent of his match fees if he enters an early guilty plea.

Should he fight the charge and lose he would be fined 10 percent of his match fees.

The Fiji Bati will take on the PNG Kumuls at 5pm Sunday.
