Fiji centre Kane Evans is free to play against England in a World Cup Group A match at Hull after being given a caution for a high tackle.

Evans was given the warning by an international match review panel for making dangerous contact with the head and neck of Australia centre Michael Jennings in the second half of his side's 34-2 defeat by the Kangaroos at St Helens on Saturday.

The caution will remain on Evans' record for the duration of the tournament.
