LONDON (AFP) — Wales and British Lions centre Gavin Henson was cited for two alleged incidents of foul play during Sunday's stormy European Cup defeat against Leicester.

Henson was charged with elbowing Tigers prop Alejandro Moreno that left the Italian with a broken nose, and for aiming a kick at his opponent.

Ospreys team-mate Ian Evans has been reported by citing commissioner Bill Dunlop for kicking England scrum-half Harry Ellis.

No date has yet been set for the disciplinary hearing.

Leicester won the match 17-15 thanks to a last-minute try to keep alive their hopes of making the quarter-finals.

If he is found guilty on the kicking charge, Henson could face a ban which may rule him out of Wales' defence of their Six Nations crown.
