Former All Blacks scrum-half Byron Kelleher was arrested after allegedly being involved in a drink-fuelled scuffle following a road accident in the early hours of Friday morning, it was claimed here.

According to the La Depeche.fr website, Kelleher, who plays for French Top 14 side Toulouse, injured his shoulder in the altercation and could be out of action for up to two months.

Kelleher, 32, was released from custody on Friday afternoon, Toulouse prosecutor Michel Valet told AFP.

Toulouse manager Guy Noves said: "I prefer that all the facts come to light before I comment on this. Only then will we be able to have a better idea."
