All Blacks duo banned for foul play
Reuters - Sun, 01 Nov 09:11:00 2009
New Zealand winger Sitiveni Sivivatu and prop Tony Woodcock will miss next week's Test against Wales after receiving one-week bans for foul play during Saturday's match against Australia.
Sivivatu, pictured, was cited for a dangerous tackle on Australian centre Adam Ashley-Cooper in the 32-19 New Zealand win in Tokyo.
Woodcock was punished for elbowing Australian flanker George Smith late in the year's fourth and final Bledisloe Cup game.
Next weekend's Test against the Welsh at the Millennium Stadium is the first match of New Zealand's tour of Britain and France.

Always good to hear the views of arm chair experts such as yourselves who seem to be able to see things in games which the rest of the live or television audiance isnt able to.
The All Blacks have ALWAYS been dirty ... pity really ... as they've historically had such Brilliant Players ... this lot are just a 2man team M&C.
They they speak about the Boks, playing dirty, I think they should take a look at themselves first before they point fingers. The New Zealanders are a good enough side, it's good that they recieved the ban, negative play should be taken out of Rugby.
