The Hurricanes player Dane Coles has been fined $1000 and suspended for one game by the New Zealand rugby union after being arrested in Paraparaumu at the weekend for disorderly conduct.

It means he'll miss the Hurricanes match against the Crusaders in Christchurch on Friday night.

He's also been ordered to undertake counselling for alcohol and behaviour management.
