Two Castres players have been cited for separate incidents during their 13-12 win over Munster on Saturday.
The ill-tempered game saw the Irish province grow increasingly irate at some of the French player's tactics and Castres scrum-half Rory Kockott has now been cited for alegedly making contact with the eye area of Chris Cloete while Marc-Antoine Rallier will also face disciplinary action after he was alleged to have tackled Peter O'Mahony dangerously.
Kockott could face the more serious penalty when he comes before a hearing in Paris on Wednesday December 19th after the incident with Cloete which was reported to referee Wayne Barnes by O'Mahony.
