Fiji flanker Dominiko Waqaniburotu has been cited for an alleged act of foul play during the opening Rugby World Cup Pool A match against England at Twickenham, organisers said on Sunday.

Waqaniburotu was penalised for lifting England winger Jonny May and lowering him to the ground during the hosts' 35-11 victory on Friday but he was not shown a yellow card by the referee.
