The player was cited by the independent Citing Commissioner for a dangerous tackle, contrary to Law 10.4(j), in the RaboDirect PRO12 match between Cardiff Blues and Leinster at Cardiff Arms Park last Friday.
Law 10.4 (j) states that "Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player's feet are still off the ground such that the player's head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play.
