Alan Tait’s Newcastle side did not complete their Challenge Cup pool
Newcastle Falcons will answer a European Rugby Cup (ERC) misconduct complaint relating to the fixture at Bourgoin in the European Challenge Cup on 22 January.
The initial game in France was postponed due to an unplayable pitch.
However, an investigation found Falcons may have failed or refused to take part in a rescheduled match on 23 January.
Falcons are also expected to answer claims they left Bourgoin before a pitch inspection had been completed.
No replayed fixture was ever completed, and with neither side able to qualify from the group, the fixture had no impact on the qualification from Pool Three, in which Montpellier and Exeter progressed.
The hearing takes place at the ERC headquarters in Dublin on Wednesday, 13 April.
