Bergamasco, 27, faces a disciplinary hearing in London on Tuesday that will determined whether he is available to play against Ireland at the weekend.

Jones required four stitches to a cut above his left eye after being struck by a swinging arm late in the first half.

He later left the field permanently when the cut began to affect his vision and he has not yet been cleared to play for Wales against England this Saturday.

Bergamasco was cited for foul play by the independent citing commissioner Jean-Claude Legendre.

Law 10.4a states a player must not strike an opponent with the fist or arm.

If he is banned, the loss of Bergamasco would be a huge blow to Italy after their successive victories over Scotland and Wales.

Bergamasco, a talented and versatile flanker, scored Italys match-winning try against Wales.

He had started the game at open-side flanker but then moved to centre after Gonzalo Canale limped off injured.
