Samoa centre Brian Lima has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle on Jonny Wilkinson, during Samoa's World Cup 44-22 defeat by England yesterday.

Lima lunged at Wilkinson in the second half, but he failed to make contact and referee Alan Lewis took no action.

However, Match Citing Commissioner, New Zealander Steve Hines, viewed the incident differently.

Lima could be ruled out of Samoa's final pool game against the USA on Wednesday.
