“We’ve got a big issue with it,” Foster said. “We’ve got a player who is probably going to be out for[a long period]. You’re not allowed to target legs on the side of the clean-out past the ball. The rules are pretty clear.”

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie defended Swain,perhaps in a bid to get his second-rower the best chance of a reprieve at the judiciary.

“I’m not convinced about Darcy’s[yellow card],” Rennie said. “It was certainly nothing intentional. Ironically,he got neck-rolled prior to him cleaning out,but that wasn’t picked up.”

It is the second time this year Swain has been cited. The first was for a headbutt in the opening Test of the England series in July,which saw Swain suspended for two weeks.

The Wallabies could also be without captain James Slipper,who suffered a calf injury.

“I’ll have to get it scanned,” said Slipper,who felt a tweak 10 minutes into the match but played until half-time. “I’d love to play.”

The Wallabies returned to Queensland on Friday to begin preparations for the Auckland fixture.

Although the Bledisloe Cup is gone for another year,motivation is high to get one back over the Kiwis after thedramatic end to Thursday’s match.

“We’ll lick our wounds,” Rennie said. “We can certainly take confidence from that[performance] but you’ve got to back that up.

“It would’ve been nice to go to Auckland with the chance of coming away with some silverware but that’s not the case,unfortunately. It’s still a big game for us and we’ll front up.”
