Fiji Bati international Viliame Kikau is free to play in the Penrith Panthers crucial National Rugby League clash with the New Zealand Warriors after sorting out visa issues with immigration authorities.
Kikau had been in doubt for Friday's game in Auckland after a paperwork bungle meant he risked being locked out of Australia had he travelled with the team to New Zealand.
The Panthers have confirmed that Kikau, who has a Fiji passport but has applied for Australian residency, has been cleared to fly with his teammates today.
The Panthers meet the Warriors at 8 tonight.
