Ireland's Paul O'Connell is facing an IRB disciplinary hearing in London today after being cited for allegedly punching Wales forward Robert Sidoli in last Saturday's Six Nations clash at the Millennium Stadium.

The Munster man was caught on camera getting involved in an off-pitch brawl with Sidoli during the second half of the match.

If found guilty of punching the Welshman, he could face a suspension that would keep him out of Munster's Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Biarritz on April 2.
