Brian O'Driscoll has been cited for stamping on Simone Favaro in Ireland's 22-15 RBS 6 Nations defeat by Italy on Saturday.
O'Driscoll was sent to the sin-bin for only the second time in his 14-year professional career in the first half of the match at the Stadio Olimpico.
The 34-year-old lifted his right leg and appeared to bring it down on to the chest of Favaro, the Italy openside.
No date or venue has been announced for the hearing.
