The Rugby League World Cup 2017 has today sanctioned the Federazione Italiana Rugby League (FIRL) following the completion of an investigation into an off-field incident involving Italian Rugby League players in Cairns during the tournament.
RLWC2017 Chief Executive Andrew Hill said the FIRL was in breach of its obligations to the tournament and a $5000 suspended fine has been imposed.
The Organising Committee will forward the relevant details from the investigation to the Rugby League International Federation.
