David Fifita was born in Australia but plays for Tonga

Wakefield prop David Fifita will serve a two-match ban for a dangerous tackle he made in last month's final Super League match at St Helens.

The 27-year-old denied the offence which happened in the 32-12 defeat on 23 September, but was found guilty by an independent Rugby Football League disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday.

Fifita, who was fined £300, can serve the suspension in pre-season matches.

The Tongan is out of contract having joined from Cronulla Sharks last June.
