Former England captain Corry will appear before an independent disciplinary committee after being cited following the 15-9 Heineken Cup Pool 3 defeat in Wales.

The citing commissioner for the match, Denis Templeton, cited Corry for "an alleged strike/contact with the eye/eye area of Ospreys player Matthew Hibbard (No 2) in contravention of Law 10.4 (a) and 10.4 (k)."

Former England captain Corry retired from international rugby after the 2007 World Cup and has no great history of disciplinary trouble.

If the offence is proven and is treated as gouging, it can carry a ban anywhere from 12 weeks up to a maximum of three years for very serious offences.

Earlier this season Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley was given a six-month ban for gouging and his Irish club-mate Neil Best was suspended for 18 weeks.
