Video - Lachlan Swinton becomes the first Wallaby to be sent off on debut

A debut to forget, Lachlan Swinton has the unfortunate tag of being the first Wallaby to ever be red carded on test debut.

The Waratahs' flanker was sent off in the 34th minute just 12 minutes after the All Blacks went down to 14 men for the remainder of the game with Ofa Tu'ungafasi going off for a high shot.

Swinton hit All Black lock Sam Whitelock high from a restart.
