French newspaper L'Equipe claims a drunk Kelleher was arrested in Toulouse yesterday morning (Tuesday night local time).

The newspaper reported Kelleher was still in custody this morning (NZ time).

The 39-year-old played 57 tests for New Zealand and played professionally in Toulouse from 2007 to 2011.

He now owns and runs a bar in Toulouse called Haka Corner.
