Wallabies flanker Dean Mumm has been handed a one-match ban for foul play during his team's third Bledisloe Cup Test loss to the All Blacks.
Mumm pleaded guilty to a charge of striking after being cited for the 52nd minute incident involving Brodie Retallick which was missed by referee Nigel Owens.

The ban means he will miss the November 5 Test against Wales in Cardiff.
Duty judicial officer Robert Stelzner said Mumm had elbowed Retallick after he had been held back by the All Blacks lock.
New Zealand won the Test 37-10 at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday night to sweep the series 3-0.
Moments before the incident, Retallick can be seen holding on to Mumm but the Wallabies No.6 recklessly swings an arm that connects with Retallick.
Retallick suffered concussion later in the match and could miss the All Blacks' end of year tour to Chicago and Europe but it is unclear whether this was linked to what Mumm did.
Aft ther match Cheika defended Mumm, saying Retallick was not an innocent bystander.
"I don't want to talk about it too much because there's a hearing to go but he [the citing commissioner] is not looking at all the action," Cheika said. "He [Mumm] is trying to get back from being held illegally."
The matter is to be heard by duty judicial officer Robert Stelzner.
