'Hideous' Australia incident sees disciplinary chiefs step in as 'dog act' ends All Black's season

Australia second-row Darcy Swain has been cited for a dangerous clear out during yesterday's Bledisloe Cup encounter between Australia and New Zealand that sparked outrage.

Swain appeared to crush Quinn Tupaea's leg whilst the centre was trying to jackal, causing huge damage and subsequently ending the All Black's season. The All Blacks confirmed Tupaea ruptured the medial cruciate ligament in his left knee during the incident.

The Wallaby lock received just a yellow card for his actions, and this decision by Mathieu Raynal was heavily criticised by viewers and pundits.
