Hurricanes Super 14 rugby hooker Dane Coles was arrested for disorderly conduct following an incident in Wellington on Saturday night.

Hurricanes chief executive Greg Peters said it was not a major incident although few other details were available.

"We're aware that it's at the minor end of the scale," Peters told Radio Sport.

"We understand it's a disorderly behaviour offence but that's our only comment at this stage."

Coles, 22, is making his debut for the Hurricanes this year, having started in their two opening matches.

His arrest comes a week after Highlanders' winger Fetu'u Vainikolo was involved in an incident at a Dunedin bar.

Vainikolo was subsequently censured by the New Zealand Rugby Union for "serious misconduct" and fined $1000 following a hearing.

Highlanders management suspended him for one match.
