Fraser McKenzie faces disciplinary panel after shoulder charge

Edinburgh lock Fraser McKenzie will appear before the Pro12 disciplinary panel on Wednesday after he was cited for a dangerous tackle on Munster flanker Jack O'Donoghue during the clash between the two teams on Saturday.

McKenzie, who has played for Scotland A three times, was sin-binned in the 12th minute while O'Donoghue was carried off the field on a stretcher .

Munster rugby director Rassie Erasmus revealed after the game that O'Donoghue received the blow on his neck and will be assessed further. He also urged the officials to send a strong statement in order to avoid further such incidents in future.

"It looks okay. Jack went to hospital. I'm not sure of the results, he is sitting in the changing room. He is very sore and stiff. I guess it can't be too serious if he is back in the changing room again.

"It was his neck, I'm not sure how much of concussion was involved. Neck and head, you have to be very careful when it comes to that.

"But it's foul play and a guy got knocked out. If we allow that to happen then a lot of guys will get knocked out. "

The hearing will take place in Cardiff and if the charge is proven proven then McKenzie might have to undergo a lengthy ban.
