<p>LONDON (AP) — France flanker Axelle Berthoumieu was cited for biting an Ireland player in the Women's Rugby World Cup quarterfinals and faces a disciplinary hearing on Monday.</p>

<p>Ireland opposite Aoife Wafer accused Berthoumieu of biting her during France's 18-13 win on Sunday in Exeter.</p>

<p>Video of the incident showed Berthoumieu on the bottom of a ruck with her mouth apparently on the arm of Wafer. Wafer then seemed to show her arm to referee Aimee Barrett-Theron.</p>

<p>"I spoke to the referee," Ireland captain Sam Monaghan said. "Aoife told me, I didn't see it myself, but I spoke to the referee and asked them."</p>

<p>No action was taken on the field and Berthoumieu was charged after the game by citing commissioner Jeff Mark.</p>

<p>Mark also cited France captain Manaé Feleu for a dangerous tackle. She was yellow-carded in the first half for collapsing a maul.</p>
