France prop Uini Atonio has been cited for his high tackle on Ireland hooker Rob Herring during Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations match in Dublin.
Atonio was sin-binned in the first half of his country’s 32-19 defeat at the Aviva Stadium after his challenge forced Herring off for a head injury assessment from which he did not return.
Referee Wayne Barnes was criticised by a number of pundits for his failure to send off the 32-year-old La Rochelle player.
