Cian Healy cited for biting

Cian Healy has been cited for allegedly biting Brett Sheehan during this morning's clash in Perth between the British & Irish and the Western Force.
The Australian scrum-half mentioned the incident to referee Glen Jackson 17 minutes into the game but replays proved inconclusive.
The Irish prop, who had to leave the field later in the first half through injury, could face a lengthy ban if found guilty although Sheehan admitted that he wasn't sure the incident happened on purpose.
He said: “I don't know if it was an accident or on purpose, so we'll move on.”
The Lions have confirmed that Healy has not broken his leg, but they have called England's Alex Corbisiero from their tour in as a cover.
“We'll just have to wait for 24, 48 hours and see where we are for that,” said .
“He went for an X-ray and it's not broken, so we just assume it's ligament damage. He may need a scan to delve further into the potential of the injury.”
