CARDIFF - Wales forward Andy Powell has been arrested after driving a golf buggy toward a motorway hours after the team's victory over Scotland in the Six Nations on Sunday (NZT).

The 28-year-old back row forward was arrested with another 28-year-old man at a service station close to the hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan where the Wales team was staying.

One of the men failed a breathaliser test, but police would not identify him.

The Welsh Rugby Union said today that team management will "formally speak to the player before any further statement is issued."
