Ulster lock Kieran Treadwell faces a hearing for alleged high tackle in Bath clash

Ulster lock Kieran Treadwell faces a disciplinary hearing on Thursday for an alleged high tackle in the province's victory over Bath last Saturday.

Treadwell, who came off the bench in the game that secured Ulster's place in the Champions Cup quarter-finals, made the tackle on Bath flanker Tom Ellis in the 68th minute at the Kingspan Stadium.

A complaint was made by the match Citing Commissioner, Stefano Marrama of Italy, who alleges that Treadwell committed an act of foul play by tackling Ellis 'in a dangerous manner in contravention of Law 9.13.

The hearing will take place in London in front of a three-man independent disciplinary committee.

Ulster will travel to Toulouse for their quarter-final on the first weekend in April. Meanwhile, Will Skelton will be free to play for Sarries in their clash with Leinster after picking up a four game ban in a disciplinary hearing today following his red card against Racing 92 last Sunday.

Skelton was sent off by Nigel Owens for his challenge on Racing full-back Brice Dulin just before the break at Allianz Park.

Will Skelton is free to play on Monday, 24 February for Sarries after picking up four game ban
