Glasgow's Ryan Wilson has been cited after being "alleged to have grabbed the testicles" of Northampton scrum-half Lee Dickson.

Under World Rugby's laws, which cover "testicle grabbing or twisting or squeezing", Wilson could also face a lengthy ban at a hearing on January 20.

Wilson's Glasgow team-mate Tim Swinson will have a hearing on the same day after he allegedly punched Northampton hooker Mikey Haywood in the 74th minute of their 19-15 defeat at Franklin's Gardens in the European Champions Cup on Sunday.
