Ashley Johnson cited for tackle on Dave Kearney

Wasps' Ashley Johnson has been cited for the tackle on Dave Kearney during Saturday's Champions Cup game that forced the Leinster wing to come off injured.

Johnson was given a yellow card for the tackle just 17 seconds into the 20-20 draw.

Kearney played no further part in that game but is no longer considered doubtful for Ireland's Six Nations opener away to Italy on 7 February.

Johnson is alleged to have committed a dangerous tackle on Kearney, and will face a hearing in Dublin on Thursday.

If found guilty, Johnson faces a ban of three weeks if the offence is judged to be at the low end of severity; six weeks if it is considered a medium-level offence; and between 12-52 weeks if it is reckoned to be at the top end of the range.

After the game, Leinster coach Matt O'Connor voiced his frustration that "we lose a bloke for 80 minutes; they lose a bloke for 10 minutes. Now that doesn't make sense to me, but I haven't seen the incident again.

"I don't know whether it was right or wrong. A bloke takes a guy out illegally, and we lose a guy which compromises the bench, and they lose a bloke for 10 minutes.

"There is a duty of care on the player to make sure guys land safely."
