While the Bernard Foley time wasting saga will be hotly debated for years \ufeffto come<\/a>, it was far from the only flashpoint of a chaotic Bledisloe Cup Test in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

All Blacks coach Ian Foster was cranky about Wallabies lock Darcy Swain's nasty cleanout of centre Quinn Tupaea<\/a>, who had to be helped off the Marvel Stadium pitch.<\/p>\n

Foster confirmed on Friday Tupaea would be sidelined for at least three months after suffering a ruptured medial collateral ligament in his left knee\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Quinn<\/p>\n

"Quinn's gone off to get a scan," Foster said immediately after the dramatic 39-37 win which ensured the Bledisloe would remain in New Zealand for the 21st straight year.<\/a><\/p>\n

"Looks dangerously like an ACL, which is a very, very significant long-term injury.<\/p>\n

"We've got a big issue with it… you're not allowed to target legs on the side at a clean out past the ball, so the rules are pretty clear."<\/p>\n

\"Quinn<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, Wallabies boss Dave Rennie took a different view of the incident.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I'm not convinced about Darcy Swain's (yellow card), it was certainly nothing intentional," Rennie argued.<\/p>\n

"Ironically he got neck rolled prior to him cleaning out but that wasn't picked up.<\/p>\n

\"Quinn<\/p>\n

"The other ones (yellow cards) were regarded as cynical, so fair enough, that's the way they see it."<\/p>\n

French referee \ufeffMathieu Raynal explained his decision directly to Swain.<\/p>\n

"That's your responsibility to not put yourself in a reckless position," Raynal said.<\/p>\n

\"Bledisloe<\/p>\n

"Y\ufeffou cannot target the legs. It's dangerous, so it's a yellow card."<\/p>\n

But \ufeffSANZAAR's match review committee determined that the clean out met the red card threshold and Swain will now face the judiciary on Monday.<\/p>\n

Swain is alleged to have contravened Law 9.11: players must not do anything that is reckless and dangerous to others.<\/p>\n

\"Bledisloe<\/p>\n

Stan Sport commentator Tim Horan said the original punishment was fair.<\/p>\n

"I'm OK with that. I thought the clean out was fine but it's this here when you're attacking the leg of Quinn Tupaea\ufeff," Horan said.<\/p>\n

"Safety is paramount for professional rugby players as well as junior rugby players."<\/p>\n

The teams will resume hostilities at Auckland's Eden Park on September 24.\ufeff<\/p>\n
