Daniel Carter will be returning to London from Milan later today for a hearing into his citing for a dangerous tackle during the test against Wales on Sunday morning.

The hearing was originally set down for last night, but was delayed for 24 hours at New Zealand's request.

The All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen says he's surprised Carter has been cited for his tackle on Wales replacement halfback Martin Robetrts in the last 10 minutes of the Cardiff test.
