PARIS, France -- South Africa back Francois Steyn has been cited following a biting allegation during the Springboks' 30-25 World Cup victory over Tonga in Lens on Saturday.
Steyn is alleged to have bitten Tongan wing Joseph Vaka during Saturday's narrow victory.
Steyn, who went on as a replacement, faces an allegation of biting Tonga wing Joseph Vaka.
The 20-year-old Natal Sharks star, who played center in the 36-0 victory over England 10 days ago, is rated among South Africa's top prospects.
But his whole tournament could be in jeopardy if he is found guilty of the charge lodged by match citing commissioner Jean-Claude Legendre.
Steyn and the South African management have been informed of the citing, with a disciplinary hearing to be scheduled soon.
South Africa are already through to the quarterfinals, with Springboks coach Jake White likely to see Steyn as a key player for a potential last eight clash against Wales in Marseille on October 7. E-mail to a friend
