Dan Sheehan, the British and Irish Lions hooker, has been cited for alleged foul play during the third Test against Australia.
The incident involved apparent head contact with Wallabies fly half Tom Lynagh during a ruck clear-out.
Lynagh subsequently failed a head injury assessment, ending his participation in the match before half-time.
World Rugby’s Independent Foul Play Review Committee will review the incident on Sunday under Law 9.20 (a).
