O’Connell citing shock as Munster prepare for Cup

IRELAND’S Paul O’Connell has been cited for allegedly punching Wales’ Robert Sidoli during Saturday’s Six Nations match in Cardiff.

If found guilty he will miss Munster’s Heineken Cup quarter-final in Biarritz on April 3.

The Six Nations committee received a complaint against O’Connell from the independent citing commissioner. A hearing, chaired by Scotland’s Lorne Crerar, will be heard tomorrow at Heathrow airport.
