France lock Sebastien Chabal will face a disciplinary hearing on Monday after being cited for a dangerous tackle on England's Simon Shaw during Saturday night's World Cup semi-final.

The Sale star was a substitute for the match, which finished 14-9 in England's favour, and was introduced off the bench in the 26th minute following an injury to Fabien Pelous.
