The fullback appeared before the World Rugby judicial committee after being yellow-carded and then given a citing commissioner’s warning over two aerial contests in the third Wallabies Test, that saw Ireland skipper Peter O’Mahony land awkwardly.
However, Folau and Rugby Australia will appeal the ban, with the date set on Thursday or Friday.
If the decision is overturned, the fullback, who has been named at fullback for this Friday’s Australia derby, will be available for the Super Rugby fixture.
