Mike Phillips has been asked to explain himself to Bayonne's directors after allegedly turning up to a video analysis session under the influence of alcohol.

Phillips and two team-mates will meet the board on Tuesday to give their side of events.

The alleged incident occurred the day after the Amlin Cup win over Grenoble.

The 31-year-old British and Irish Lions number nine was suspended by the club in 2012 for off-field misconduct.

Phillips was also suspended from the Wales squad in July 2011 following an incident in Cardiff city centre when he was involved in a confrontation with a doorman.

The 77-times capped former Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and Ospreys player joined Bayonne following the World Cup in the autumn of 2011.

He was a key member of the Lions team that beat Australia 2-1 in the Test series last summer, setting up the opening try for Alex Corbisiero in the decisive third Test match victory in Sydney.

He has also won two Six Nations Grand Slams with Wales in 2008 and 2012.

New Zealanders Wayne Haare and Stephen Brett are the other players who will have to explain their actions to Bayonne board on Tuesday.
