Billy Vunipola: Saracens forward cited for allegedly striking Tait

Billy Vunipola started his career at London Wasps before joining Saracens in 2013

England and Saracens back row Billy Vunipola has been cited for allegedly striking Leicester's Mathew Tait with his head last Saturday.

The incident occurred in Saracens' 22-6 Premiership win at Allianz Park.

If the 22-year-old is banned, Saracens will be without Vunipola for the European Champions Cup semi-final at Clermont Auvergne this Saturday.

Leicester centre Vereniki Goneva has been cited for allegedly striking Saracens' Kelly Brown with his forearm.

The two cases will be heard by a three-man panel in London on Tuesday.
