All Blacks star Dan Carter has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle on Wales scrum-half Martin Roberts during Saturday's Test match at the Millennium Stadium.
Carter will face a disciplinary hearing in Milan today, where the New Zealand squad has arrived to prepare for next weekend's clash against Italy. He is due to appear before IRB-appointed judicial officer Jeff Blackett, who is also the Rugby Football Union's disciplinary chief.
Carter, who was not yellow-carded for the offence by match referee Craig Joubert, could receive a minimum one-week ban. Anything more than that would put his participation against England at Twickenham on November 21 in doubt.
