O'Connor back for Toulon after cocaine bust

By
Friday 28 Apr 2017

O'Connor, 26, hasn't played since he and All Blacks star Ali Williams were arrested outside a nightclub near the Champs Elysees in February and later fined - Williams for buying cocaine and O'Connor for using it.

The 35-year-old former lock Williams was fired by French Top 14 champions Racing 92 while O'Connor was suspended.

O'Connor will start on the bench in a game where Toulon must beat Bordeaux to make sure of fourth place in the Top 14 and guarantee a home tie in the play-offs.

Toulon's Australian international Drew Mitchell, who will retire at the end of the season, will start Saturday's game on the wing.
