Toulouse lock Richie Arnold has not been cited following his controversial hit on Munster’s Joey Carbery on Sunday.
The incident, which led to no further action from referee Karl Dickson, took place during Toulouse’s 20-16 Champions Cup victory at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
After the match, a clip emerged of Arnold appearing to hit Carbery high with a significant degree of force. Brian O’Driscoll, speaking on BT Sport, described the collision as “the type of hit they’re trying to outlaw.”
Only one camera angle of the incident has been made publicly available, and in it Munster lock Jean Kleyn does temporarily obscure the tackle.
