Kangaroos second-rower Angus Crichton is free to play for Sydney Roosters in the opening round against the Dolphins after being permitted to serve his World Cup suspension in the pre-season.
However, Crichton insisted he did not mean to strike Harris-Tevita and asked to front the media immediately after Australia's 30-10 win to publicly apologise to the Samoa utility and explain his actions.
Crichton and Harris-Tavita spent time travelling together in Europe after the World Cup, along with injured Samoa utility Tyrone May, Kangaroos halfback Nathan Cleary and forward Pat Carrigan."Whenever I play football, I never try to injure or hurt anyone. I know that I am a good person and I play the game the way it is meant to be played.
“That was not my intention at all so anyone I have upset or anyone in his family or anyone in the Samoa community I am genuinely sorry.”
