Dan Carter's citing hearing has been postponed until Tuesday at the request of his New Zealand team, the disciplinary body said in a statement.
   
First five Carter was cited for a high tackle on Wales replacement halfback Martin Roberts late in Saturday's Cardiff international and was due to face a hearing on Monday.
   
Carter moved to within one point of Andrew Mehrtens as his country's leading points scorer in Saturday's 19-12 victory.

If suspended, he would miss one or more of New Zealand's remaining tour games against Italy, England and France.
   
Winger Sitiveni Sivivatu and prop Tony Woodcock, who were banned from the Wales game after citings in the win over Australia in Tokyo, are both now available for selection.
