The alleged incident was reported to have occurred in the 25th minute of the match. The complaint was made by the match Citing Commissioner, Jeff Mark.

A disciplinary hearing will take place in London tomorrow to review footage of the game and hear evidence from both parties.

Law 10.4(m) dictates that "testicle grabbing or twisting or squeezing" carries a minimum ban of 12 weeks with a maximum suspension ranging from 24 to 208 weeks.

Meanwhile, Saracens wing Chris Ashton has been cited for allegedly making contact with the eye(s) and/or eye area of Ulster centre Luke Marshall during Saturday's European Champions Cup match.
