New Zealand duo Malakai Fekitoa and Sam Cane have been cited for “allegedly tackling an opponent dangerously” in Saturday’s 21-9 win over Ireland.
Openside Flanker Cane’s tackle on Robbie Henshaw was reviewed by the officials during the game and referee Jaco Peyper awarded a penalty against New Zealand at the time.
Henshaw was stretchered off after receiving treatment from the injury where Garry Ringrose came on in his replacement for the rest of the game.
Centre Fekitoa, who scored two tries, received a yellow card for a tackle on Simon Zebo in the 49th minute.
The hearings will be heard tomorrow, Six Nations officials, who manage disciplinary matters for the November Tests.
