Munster forward Donncha O'Callaghan has been cited for allegedly kicking Ulster’s Stuart Olding in the head.

Guinness PRO12 organisers said that 35-year-old O'Callaghan had been reported by the match citing commissioner Eddie Walsh following last Friday's win over Ulster at Thomond Park.

He caught Olding with his boot in the 41st minute and the Ulster fullback was forced to undergo a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) before returning to play on.

O'Callaghan, who has won 94 Ireland caps, will appear before an independent disciplinary committee later this week. 

Munster beat Ulster 21-20, and they resume European Champions Cup next Saturday with a home game against Clermont Auvergne.
