New Zealand World Cup winner faces hearing on Thursday

Ulster prop John Afoa has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle and could miss his side's Heineken Cup semi-final against Edinburgh. Afoa, the New Zealand World Cup winner, will appear before independent judicial officer Jean-Noel Couraud in Dublin on Thursday following his challenge on Munster full-back Felix Jones after 46 minutes of Ulster's 22-16 victory at Thomond Park. If Afoa is found guilty, International Rugby Board guidelines state the minimum entry level suspension for a dangerous tackle is three weeks. Ulster's semi-final showdown with Edinburgh is at the Aviva Stadium on April 28.
