British and Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw was cited on Saturday for dangerous play during his side's 28-9 victory over the Springboks in the third and finaL Test in Johannesburg.

Citing officer Steve Hinds of New Zealand cited Shaw for an offence of striking with the knee in the 37th minute of the first half.

Referee Stuart Dickinson yellow-carded Shaw for the offence, which was committed on Springbok scrumhalf Fourie du Preez - resulting in the Bok No.9 having to leave the field with an injury after initially trying to play on.

Shaw will appear before Judicial Officer Alan Hudson of Canada at the offices of the Golden Lions Rugby Union in Johannesburg on Sunday.
