Ireland prop Andrew Porter has been cited after an incident during the Test series-clinching victory over New Zealand in Wellington.
Porter was yellow-carded by referee Wayne Barnes following a high tackle on All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick.
But match citing commissioner James Sherriff has now reported Porter, who faces a disciplinary hearing via video link on Tuesday.
Retallick suffered a fractured cheekbone and is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks.
