In an off-the-ball incident, the All Blacks loosehead raised his elbow into Beale's jaw late in the first half, flattening the Wallabies' inside centre, before collecting a pass and scoring the Crusaders' first try.
Local referee Ben O'Keeffe and an all-New Zealand roster of officials allowed the incident to go unpunished and the try stood.
Moody was cited after the match and SANZAAR's Foul Play Review Committee ruled that the incident contravened the law relating to "striking with hand or arm".
