By Declan Whooley
The independent Citing Commissioner Alberto Recaldini today took action on the Leinster prop for the incident that occurred at a ruck where Healy appeared to make contact with the ankle of his English counterpart.
Match referee Jerome Garces took no action at the time, but it was inevitable that it was going to be reviewed and has been charged with the alleged act of foul play is contrary to Law 10.4 (b)
The hearing will take place in London midweek.
He will almost certainly miss the Scottish clash, but manangement will be hoping that the punishment will not be too severe and could be available for the clashes with France and Italy.
Also to appear before a Six Nations Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday will be Ross Moriarty, England under 20 back row forward, who was red-carded for this dangerous tackle under Law 10.4(j) in the Six Nations under 20s match between Ireland and England at Athlone on Friday.
