Four Nations: Sean O'Loughlin & Liam Farrell cleared to face Kiwis

England forwards Sean O'Loughlin and Liam Farrell will be available to face New Zealand on Saturday after no action was taken over tackles they made against Australia.

The Wigan pair were placed on report for suspect challenges during the 16-12 defeat by the Kangaroos on Sunday.

Australia's Greg Bird was also put on report but a spokesman said there would be no further action.

England will reach the final if they beat New Zealand by 10 points.

O'Loughlin, who returned from a quad muscle strain to lead England for the first time, was under scrutiny for an alleged trip on Australia hooker Cameron Smith while Farrell was reported for a possible "chicken wing" tackle on full-back Greg Inglis.

Australia forward Bird had been put on report for a possible "spear" tackle on O'Loughlin.
