Scotland backrow Ryan Wilson has been cited for making contact with the eye area of Nathan Hughes during their victory over England in the Six Nations.

Wilson and Hughes wrestled with one another on the ground during Saturday's clash and while the England No. 8 held Wilson down by the throat, the Scottish forward reached out and made contact with the eye area of Hughes.

Six Nations released a statement saying Wilson was being cited for "an alleged act of foul play" by the independent citing commissioner which contravened Law 9.12 of the game.

A disciplinary hearing will be convened before a Six Nations Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday, while Hughes has avoided sanction.
