Matt Banahan has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle following England's 15-9 victory over the Australian Barbarians.

The England wing has been charged with a "lifting tackle" on the Barbarians centre Berrick Barnes 26 minutes into the game at Bluetongue Stadium in Gosford.

Banahan will face a disciplinary hearing in Sydney overnight, UK time.

England have now had a player cited after all three of their matches on the tour of Australia.

Lock Dave Attwood had two stamping charges thrown out following last Tuesday's 28-28 draw with the Barbarians after England successfully argued the citing commissioner should not have been Australian.

Wing Mark Cueto appeared in front of a hearing in Sydney yesterday and was found not guilty of a dangerous tackle on Barnes in Saturday's Test defeat to the Wallabies.

Banahan is unlikely to be involved in this weekend's second Test anyway but a guilty verdict could officially rule him out of the Sydney clash and England's final tour match against the New Zealand Maori next week.
