MUNSTER WING GERHARD van den Heever has been citied for an alleged dangerous tackle during their recent Guinness Pro12 win over Edinburgh.
Van den Heever was given a yellow card in the 14th minute of Saturday’s game in Murrayfield which Munster went on to win 16-14.
The South African born player will face a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Edinburgh lock Fraser McKenzie has lodged an appeal against the length of his two-week suspension for dangerously charging an opponent in their Pro 12 defeat to Connacht in October.

His hearing will also be held tomorrow.
Always an incredible player. Must have gone through some dark days while being almost 2 years injured. He’s back to his 2011 best. That was also the last time the Ozzie’s beat the All Blacks to win the Rugby Championship like they just did. Not to bring up the past but when Ireland beat Australia in the last World Cup, Pocock just missed out with an injury. Would have been a highly different test I think. IMO he is next to Kieran Read as the best player in the world right now.
Come on the Aussies!
Get David Attenborough as a commentator! Now that would be class!
Awesome player … He is like a double shot of Sean o brien
Without the petulance
Jesus Mark get over yourself!
Pape was asking for it and Seanie didn’t even throw a proper punch at him.
It’s funny how you should mention petulance given that the Aussies trashed their changing room when we beat then in Dublin last year and in process caused thousands of euros worth of damage……
The irony!
I’d agree. Pape was a sneaky bollix and deserved probably more than he got. Not PC but at least what SOB did was more honest than pape, who was looking to get SOB into trouble. Exacerbated by his BS evidence in SOBs hearing.
On topic – pocock is probably the best player in the world. Incredible at the breakdown and ferocious in the tackle. Arguably a better backrow than NZ. I’d the Aussies can even gain parity in the scrum they’ve a great chance … Money still on NZ though.
