Paris - France lock Pascal Pape will appear before a Disciplinary Committee "later this week" following his yellow card in Saturday's Six Nations defeat against Ireland, tournament organisers said on Monday.
The 34-year-old Frenchman has been cited for kneeing Jamie Heaslip in the back, leaving the Ireland forward to limp off as Pape was sent to the sin-bin by referee Wayne Barnes.
Reports on Sunday suggested Heaslip had suffered a suspected broken vertebra, but Les Bleus coach Philippe Saint-Andre claimed Pape's ugly challenge was an accident.
