WORCESTER Warriors lock Tevita Cavubati has been cited for allegedly biting an opponent in Sunday's 20-13 Aviva Premiership defeat to London Irish.
The giant Fijian will be appearing at an RFU disciplinary hearing tonight at the Bristol Filton Holiday Inn.
Cavubati made 12 tackles and 11 carries against Irish.
Any suspension for Cavubati would be a big blow for Warriors ahead of Saturday's vital home clash against Bath (3pm).
With lock Darren Barry struggling with a nerve problem in his arm, Dan Sanderson could be drafted into Warriors' starting line-up.
Dominic Barrow, of Leicester Tigers, will also appear having been cited for punching or striking an opponent, contrary to Law 10.4(a), during the Premiership fixture against Sale Sharks.
Both cases will be heard at the Bristol Filton Holiday Inn at 7pm and 8.15pm.
The panel will be chaired by Jeremy Summers with John Vale and John Doubleday.
