Mauro Bergamasco is cited

The forward will appear after being cited following the RBS Six Nations match against Wales at Stadio Flaminio on Saturday.

Bergamasco, who went on to score the Italian’s winning try in their 23-20 victory, has been cited by the independent citing commissioner, Jean-Claude Legendre (France), for foul play contrary to law 10.4.a. (a player must not strike an opponent with the fist or arm).

Television footage seemed to show Bergamasco punching Wales Captain Stephen Jones, who required four stiches in a head wound and failed to finish the match.
