Leinster prop Jack McGrath has been cited by an independent citing commissioner for stamping on an opponent during his side's 24-11 win over Ulster at the RDS on Saturday.

Footage shows McGrath appear to stamp on the ankles of Ulster captain Rory Best, an incident which went unpunished by the referee.

McGrath’s hearing in front of an independent Pro 12 disciplinary committee will take place later this week.
