Leicester Tigers centre Kyle Eastmond and Worcester Warriors full-back Chris Pennell will both face independent disciplinary hearings after being cited following weekend Premiership games.

Eastmond was charged with making a dangerous tackle on Bristol's Ian Madigan in Saturday's 41-10 defeat.

He was sent off at the time of the incident, leaving Tigers with 14 men.

Pennell has been charged with placing Gloucester's Charlie Sharples in a dangerous position in their 36-16 loss.

Unlike Eastmond, the England international was only sin-binned for his challenge.

The pair will appear before a disciplinary panel in Coventry on Tuesday.
