Williams and O'Connor arrested in Paris

The 35-year-old lock was arrested alongside Australia international James O'Connor outside a Paris night club in possession of cocaine in February. Williams, who had retired in 2015 after leaving Toulon, had made a brief comeback this season with Racing 92. But the Parisians fired him following his arrest in possession of 2.4 grammes of cocaine outside a nightclub near the Champs Élysées.

Williams won the World Cup with New Zealand in 2011 and made 77 appearances for his country.
