Former All Blacks lock Ali Williams and former Wallabies back James O'Connor have been arrested in Paris after allegedly attempting to buy cocaine.
Williams, who is a player and special adviser for Racing 92 in Paris, and O'Connor, who plays for Toulon in the south of France, had been partying in central Paris during a one‑week break for the Top 14 competition.
The arrest took place infront of a famous night club.
Williams and O'Connor will be held in police custody for up to 24 hours.
Under French law they must be released after that point, unless there are specific circumstances which would justify an additional 24 hours.
At the time of arrest, Williams allegedly attempted to throw three packets of cocaine on the ground, which were immediately picked up by investigators.
