5:47 am on 30 October 2009

The former All Blacks halfback Byron Kelleher has been given a two-month suspended prison sentence and fined $7,000 for his part in a drink-fuelled scuffle following a car accident in France.

Kelleher who now plays for Toulouse admitted his guilt to both having hit out at the people in the other car and also for being drunk while driving his car during the incident last month.

He did not have his driving licence taken away as the level of alcohol in his blood was not taken at the time.

Kelleher, injured his shoulder and right eye in the incident.
