Former All Blacks halfback Byron Kelleher has been found guilty of domestic assault and fined in a French court.
Kelleher, who played 57 Tests for the All Blacks between 1999 and 2007, was fined 200 euros ($A275) for the incident in Toulouse last June.
The 40-year-old had allegedly been drinking with friends and then was involved in an incident where a woman was attacked and a door damaged, L'Equipe reported at the time
Toulouse-based La Depeche reported that Kelleher's lawyer described the event as a lover's quarrel.
Kelleher has previously faced charges of drink-driving in 2013, and in 2009 was given a two-month suspended jail term and fined 3500 euros ($A4900) for driving under the influence of alcohol and violent behaviour from an ensuing fight.
The latest court appearance continues a string of incidents involving high-profile New Zealand rugby players in France.
