Tokyo: Australia winger Reece Hodge could be in doubt for the Wallabies' must-win Wales clash after being cited for a dangerous tackle on star Fiji flanker Peceli Yato.

Citing commissioner John Montgomery, from Scotland, found the incident in the 26th minute of the Wallabies' 39-21 win met the red card threshold for an act of foul play.

Hodge will face a three-person judicial committee in coming days, although World Rugby is yet to announce the exact timing.

The tackle left Yato concussed and ended his involvement in the game. He watched from the sidelines as his teammates opened up a nine-point lead on the Wallabies before withering under Australia's tactical tweaks in the second half.
