The citing commissioner also issued a warning to England flanker James Haskell for a neck-roll tackle early in the match which England won 25-21.

Francis's disciplinary hearing will be held by an independent committee later this week.

England won the Six Nations after France lost 29-18 in Scotland on Sunday.
