Saracens second row George Kruis will face a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Tuesday evening after being cited for a dangerous tackle in Friday's 24-23 defeat at Gloucester.

Kruis was sin-binned in the 63rd minute of the Aviva Premiership showdown at Kingsholm for a tip tackle on wing David Halaifonua.

The 24-year-old, who made his England debut in the autumn as a replacement against New Zealand, faces the RFU disciplinary panel in central London.

England No 8 Ben Morgan broke his leg for Gloucester in the same game in a separate incident and will almost certainly miss the 2015 Six Nations Championship.

Saracens sit third in the Premiership after only their third league defeat of the season.
