England lock Dave Attwood has been cited over two alleged stamping incidents in today's 28-28 draw with the Australian Barbarians.

The 23-year-old Gloucester forward, has been summoned to appear before an independent disciplinary hearing in Perth tomorrow at 9am (0200BST).

Attwood is alleged to have stamped on the Barbarians scrum-half Josh Valentine in the 34th minute and his opposite number Mitch Chapman in the 50th minute.

If Attwood is found guilty by judicial officer Paul Tully he could be ruled out of the remainder of England's five-match tour of Australia and New Zealand.
