LEINSTER WING FERGUS McFadden has been cited after an alleged head-butt on Ulster’s Sean Reidy during the first-half of Leinster’s 14-13 loss in the Kingspan Stadium on Saturday.
Despite a TMO review of the 13th-minute incident, referee George Clancy awarded just a penalty against Leinster while warning the veteran back.
McFadden, who later scored a try to give Leinster the lead, has been cited under Law 9.12 and will face a disciplinary committee through video conference on Wednesday.
If found guilty, McFadden would miss out on Leinster’s Heineken Champions Cup final against Saracens as he could face a suspension ranging from four weeks at the low end entry point, with medium and top end offences meriting upwards of 10 and 16-week bans respectively.
"I'm alright, but I got a headbutt in the face!"

However, disciplinary committees frequently halve the suspensions they dole out when taking ‘mitigating factors’ into account.

Poor effort on the translation and you use the Sun in connection with a Liverpool story. Should have given this task to someone else.
@Freddie Rincon: its not a bad interpretation of the translation at all Fred
Could have chosen a better example! Don’t buy the sun. JFT96.
Really the sun
@: joke …. the 42 are a disgrace.
Great game. As a spurs supporter thought they would have a hard task but by christ they made the game last night one of the best I have seen…great work….let’s hope spurs get through tonight…
Sean Farrell- The sun! Really!
Ah yes… Klopp has just reunited every English club. It’s even better than England progressing to the World Cup knock out stages. But this time it actually may be coming home … to Anfield!
The sun??
Last night was magical. Football has become so commercialized and lost a lot of it’s soul, but last night reminded us what it can be at it’s best. Am hearing reports that Phil Coutinho’s Barca career is in big trouble, penny for his thoughts?
@Laura Walsh: it was already before the game
@Limón Madrugada: agree lad.
As is valverde.
Why leave your Arthur and Malcom out??
Baffled
Dave o kop that clown thought he was helping to sell Balotelli to China a few years, proof that Twitter and followers ratios do get to peoples heads
Great game by Liverpool!!!
