Ireland prop Andrew Porter has been cited by world rugby for a high tackle on Brodie Retallick during Ireland's 32-22 win over the All Blacks last saturday.
The Leinster star will face a disciplinary committee tomorrow where his punishment will be decided.
A statement released by World Rugby said, "Ireland prop Andrew Porter will attend an independent disciplinary hearing after having been cited by the citing commissioner James Sherriff (Australia) for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.13 (A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously) during Ireland’s test match against New Zealand on 16 July."

The loose-head received a yellow card at the time for his mistimed tackle. The incident occurred in the 50th minute and Porter was sin binned for the next ten minutes of the game.
Retallick left the field for a head injury assessment, but never returned to the game.
All Black fans were furious at the decision of Wayne Barnes to only dish out a yellow card. In the previous test, All Black prop Angus Ta’avao was shown red for a similar type of tackle on Garry Ringrose.
However, when going through the mitigation process, Wayne Barnes deemed that Porter was 'absorbing' Retallick in the tackle as opposed to dishing out the force himself.
However there was clear head-on-head contact and Retallick was clearly worse for wear.
Porter now faces a nervous wait before his punishment is revealed tomorrow.
