Wales captain and flanker Sam Warburton will have his red card hearing in Auckland on Sunday, 16 October, at 16:30.

The red card hearing follows an ordering off by referee Alain Rolland for a breach of Law 10.4(j), a dangerous tip tackle on France's Vincent Clerc during the Rugby World Cup 2011 semi-final on October 15.

The case will be heard by the Independent Judicial Officer Christopher Quinlan QC (England).
