Wasps' Kyle Eastmond will appear before a disciplinary panel after his 17th-minute dismissal during Sunday's match against Harlequins.

The 28-year-old centre saw red for a dangerous tackle on Quins fly-half Marcus Smith.

Eastmond has also been cited for another dangerous tackle on full-back Ross Chisholm two minutes earlier.

Both citings are contrary to law 9.13, dangerous tackling, and carry sanctions of a two-week ban for a low-level breach up to 10-104 weeks for the most serious breach.

A three-man disciplinary hearing will take place in Coventry on Tuesday.
