Australia flanker Michael Hooper has been cited for alleged foul play in Saturday's Rugby World Cup victory over England at Twickenham.

Hooper was outstanding in the Wallabies' 33-13 hammering of Stuart Lancaster's side, which put them through to the quarter-finals and knocked the hosts out of the tournament.

But the 23-year-old could miss the Pool A decider against Wales - also at Twickenham - at the weekend after being cited for clearing out Mike Brown in a ruck just before half time.

A Rugby World Cup statement said: "Michael Hooper (Australia) has been cited by independent Citing Commissioner Steve Hinds (New Zealand) for an alleged act of foul play contrary to Law 10.4(h) (charging into a ruck or maul without use of the arms or grasping the player) during the 39th minute of the Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool A match between England and Australia at Twickenham on Saturday, 3 October.

"The hearing will take place at 10:00 on Tuesday, 6 October at the offices of RWC 2015 official law firm Clifford Chance in London. The case will be heard by independent Judicial Officer Alan Hudson (Canada)."
