Leinster prop Cian Healy will have his citing complaint for an incident against Toulon reheard tomorrow in London.

Healy is alleged to have struck Toulon hooker Guilhem Guirado with his knee in the 26th minute of the Champions Cup defeat at Stade Félix Mayol in contravention of Law 10.4 (a).

The initial charge was not proven at a hearing on 17 December, but was amended by to "dangerous charging or obstructing or grabbing of an opponent without the ball, including shouldering", in breach of World Rugby's regulations.

Healy appealed successfully against the amended two-week sanction and was cleared to play in the return fixture with Toulon.

The decision that the complaint should be reheard by a different judicial officer from the original disciplinary hearing was made by an independent appeal committee on 23 December.
