Former All Blacks lock Ali Williams is about to be sacked by his French club Racing 92 after being charged with purchasing cocaine.

Club President, Jacky Lorenzetti told French Media “ Unfortunately, he will soon be fired,"

35‑year‑old Williams was charged last month.

Former Wallabies winger James O'Connor, who plays for Toulon, was also arrested and charged with possession.

Both players have been stood down by their clubs.

Williams, a 77 test veteran, has been summoned to appear at the National Rugby League's discipline commission on 29 March.

He is alleged to have purchased $300 worth of cocaine.
