MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Wallabies hooker Tolu Latu has been stood down by the New South Wales Waratahs pending a court appearance for drink driving and will face a code of conduct hearing, the Super Rugby team said on Tuesday.

Rugby Australia's integrity unit probed a media report last week that Latu was discovered sleeping in his vehicle in the east of the city and was found to have exceeded the legal limit of alcohol in his blood when tested by police.
