Tameifuna has been cited for acting against the spirit of good sportsmanship.
He was seen to push referee Glen Jackson out of his way as he was fanning out from a ruck in defence.
Tameifuna has been cited under law 10.4 (m) which deems that a player must not do anything that is against the spirit of good sportsmanship in the playing enclosure.
His case will be heard Thursday.
