The player was subsequently cited after the match, won 15-14 by Saints.

Louw will appear before a three-man RFU disciplinary panel, chaired by Euan Ambrose, in Bristol on Thursday, May 5.

The South Africa international star, Louw, recently agreed to a long-term contract extension with Bath.

Louw's deal will see him remain at the Recreation Ground until at least 2019.

The 30-year-old flank has won 43 caps for the Springboks and he was arguably their most consistent player during the 2015 World Cup, when South Africa reached the semifinals.

Louw joined Bath in 2011, and he has so far made almost 80 first-team appearances.
