Munster centre Lifeimi Mafi will go in front of an IRFU Disciplinary Panel at Ravenhill tomorrow after being cited for a tackle on Gordon D'Arcy in last Saturday night’s Magners League defeat to Leinster at The Aviva Stadium.

Mafi has been cited under law 10.4 (e) for an alleged dangerous tackle and 10.4 (a) for allegedly punching or striking in an incident with D’Arcy in the 19th minute of the game.

The hearing will be chaired by Hugh Logan and he will be assisted by Stephen Hilditch and Ian McIlrath. The findings of the disciplinary panel will be released following the completion of the hearing.
