It looks like Sean O'Brien could be set the miss the third and final Test match against New Zealand after being cited for dangerous play.

The BBC is reporting that O'Brien is alleged to have struck Waisake Noholo during the Lions' victory over the All Blacks on Saturday and now faces a hearing on Sunday morning. His hearing is said to take place at 9 a.m. Irish time and if found guilty will miss the final Test match next weekend. https://twitter.com/whiskeycully/status/881272603591274499   O'Brien was one of the star performers as The British and Irish Lions forced a decider against New Zealand in a pulsating 24-21 victory. The "Tullow Tank" has stolen headlines on this tour for his leadership skills and generally being hilarious while on tour and would be a massive loss to the side if he was to miss out next weekend.
