British and Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw has been cited for alleged dangerous play during the third Test against South Africa.

England forward Shaw has been summoned to attend a disciplinary hearing on Sunday morning.

He must answer a charge of striking with the knee on Springboks scrum-half Fourie du Preez during the Lions' 28-9 victory  in Johannesburg .

Shaw was sin-binned for the offence, but New Zealand citing officer Steve Hinds has decided the incident warrants closer scrutiny.

Shaw is the second Lions player to be cited on their 10-match South Africa tour, following Scotland forward Nathan Hines who received a one-week ban for a dangerous tackle during the 13-13 draw against the Emerging Springboks in Cape Town 11 days ago.

If found guilty, Wasps lock Shaw could miss the opening games of next season's Guinness Premiership campaign.
