The Kangaroos have received the verdict on one of their prized superstars, after an ugly clash resulted in the sin-binning of one of the favourites to win the Golden Boot award.
It has been revealed that star fullback Reece Walsh is free to play in the third Ashes Test against England after escaping suspension for his controversial mid-air tackle on Dominic Young during Australia's fiery 14-4 win in the second Test.
Walsh was sin-binned late in the match after colliding mid-air with the England winger, an incident that sparked an all-in brawl between both sides.
The Brisbane Broncos fullback appeared to make no attempt to catch the ball, instead launching himself at Young in a desperate bid to deny a try.
The RFL Match Review Panel has confirmed that Walsh will not face any disciplinary action, despite the collision seeing his shoulder connect with Young's head.
"The International Match Review Panel have reviewed Saturday's match and accepted all on-field decisions," the RFL said in a statement.
"No incidents have been deemed sufficient to warrant further action under the international rules in operation for this series."
