Citings after Neath player trauma | Quote: | Neath have cited three Cardiff players following the Premier Division match that left Neath scrum-half Gareth Jones in hospital with a serious neck injury.
Two of the citings are unconnected to Jones's injury, but one relates to the incident during the match on 20 April.
Jones, 28, has undergone one emergency operation and his condition was said to be "stable but serious" last week.
On Monday the University Hospital of Wales, Heath, in Cardiff declined to comment on Jones's current condition.
The disciplinary hearings for two of the players will be heard by the Welsh Rugby Union on Tuesday evening, with the third set for next week.
Neath had already clinched the Premier Division title for the fourth successive time when they travelled to face Cardiff for a Sunday match.
Jones, of Pontypridd and who works as a decorator, was hurt at a ruck during the game.
Play was delayed for around 10 minutes while medical staff attended to Jones during Neath's 24-22 defeat.
After treatment on the pitch, he was transferred to hospital where scans revealed a significant injury to Jones's neck.
Early last Monday morning he developed complications which required emergency surgery and Jones remains under observation in the Intensive Care Unit.
Jones is receiving support from his family, officials of Neath Rugby Football Club and fellow squad members.

Gary Horrigan and Ryan Howells are the two citied and will have their cases heard tonight, both un-related to the Gareth Jones incident.
Darren Ryan has been accused of reckless and dangerous play, with his hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
