Mumm pleaded guilty to a charge of foul play after he was cited for elbowing Brodie Retallick in the head early in the second half at Eden Park when the All Blacks lock illegally held him back.

"Mumm has been suspended from all forms of the game for 1 match up to and including Saturday 5 November 2016," New Zealand Rugby said in a media release on Monday, citing the duty judicial officer.
