Joseph Tapine is available for New Zealand's Rugby League World Cup semi-final after escaping a charge over a tackle in the 78-0 win against Fiji.
Winger Ronaldo Mulitalo will miss the match after the International Rugby League handed him a one-game suspension on Sunday.
Mulitalo was sent off in the 51st minute, when New Zealand led 48-0, for a high shoulder hit on Ronald Philitoga.
Referee Grant Atkins called the contact with Philitoga's head "direct and forceful". The IRL imposed a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle ban, which would increase to two games if Mulitalo contests the charge and loses.
Fiji halfback Brandon Wakeham also received a one-match suspension for punching Mulitalo in the head immediately after the tackle.
New Zealand face the winner of tonight's Week 3 match between Tonga and Samoa at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle next Saturday night. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is expected to replace Mulitalo on the wing.
