LONDON - Ireland lock Donncha O'Callaghan has been cited for allegedly kicking an opponent in the head, officials announced on Monday.

Celtic League organisers said that the 35-year-old Munster second row had been reported following last Friday's league game against Ulster at Thomond Park.

O'Callaghan, capped 94 times by Ireland, will appear before an independent disciplinary committee later this week

Munster beat Ulster 21-20, and their next match is a European Champions Cup tie at home to French club Clermont on Saturday.
