According to the report, the assault occurred after the intoxicated Smith refused to pay the taxi fare.

The 111 Test-capped Wallaby, who is currently based in Tokyo at Suntory Sungoliath during Super Rugby's off-season, denied the allegations, the paper added.

However, Suntory confirmed his arrest in a statement.

"It is true that George Smith, under contract to our rugby team, has been arrested," the statement stated.

"We issue a heartfelt apology to the victim, as well as other related people, as well as to the many people who have worried and been caused problems by this,"
