Castres flanker Ibrahim Diarra has been cited for stamping in Sunday's 10-8 Heineken Cup win over Glasgow.
Diarra is alleged to have made contact with prop Moray Low in the second-half of the clash at Stade Pierre-Antoine in contravention of Law 10.4(b).
The complaint will be heard in Dublin on Wednesday and carries an entry point suspension of two weeks with the top end ranging from nine weeks to a year.

Could have sworn I saw the ref looking at this incident as it happened, in real time looked like he may have missed him. Hope he gets the length this surely deserves!

I think it is one of the most violent acts I have seen on a professional rugby field - it was a considered raking (not a stamp) onto a players head.
There is a HUGE difference between a stamp (which would have been bad enough) and a rake - especially when to the face.
I played for 25 years, in an era when rucking was still allowed, and never saw anything like that on the field. How the ref or linesmen didn't see it I have no idea.
This guy will be getting a very, very lengthy ban - and quite right!
What the hell was he thinking? And anyone who says that frustration played a part (with Glasgow infringing) is talking complete nonsense - this guy is a professional rugby player. Frustration does not cause you to be a complete and utter thug and risk seriously harming someone by raking their face while they are defenceless on the floor.
I'd give him a year - without a doubt! It doesn't matter that serious injury wasn't caused - there was definite intent!
