All Blacks centre Quinn Tupaea is hoping to return to action ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup as he prepares for knee surgery on a season-ending injury sustained against Australia last month.

"I've had a few days to process it and, yeah, it's been pretty tough, but I think I'm coming through the other side here," he told Newstalk ZB radio. The All Blacks had been incensed by Swain's behaviour, with fullback Beauden Barrett describing the incident as a"free shot" on a defenceless Tupaea as the Australian clattered into his extended leg.

"I thought I'd won a penalty, heard the whistle go and then I just felt a bit of force hit my knee from the side," Tupaea said of the incident.
