Counties-Manukau centre George Leaupepe will appear before the New Zealand Rugby Football Union judicial committee tomorrow after being cited for foul play against Canterbury in the NPC match last Saturday.
The charge relates to a high tackle Leaupepe made on Sean Cuttance, which resulted in the Canterbury hooker being carried off.
Leaupepe was sinbinned for the swinging arm.
Meanwhile, Wellington Lions lock Inoke Afeaki has been cleared of permanent damage after a neck injury scare in Sunday's NPC loss to Northland.
He suffered a neck strain, but could be fit in time for Saturday's match against Taranaki.
