Former All Black Williams and ex-Wallaby James O'Connor were set to front the Ligue Nationale de Rugby's discipline and rules commission on March 29.

But that has now been postponed until April 12, reportedly on their request.

Williams is still to appear in court over a charge of allegedly buying cocaine, after he and O'Connor were arrested by Paris police in late February.

O'Connor has already been fined for possession of the drug.

"Unfortunately, he will soon be fired," club president.Jacky Lorenzetti told rugby weekly Midi Olympique.

AAP reports the 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.

Williams, who plays for Paris club Racing 92, was charged by police for allegedly buying cocaine last week and has been suspended by the club.

Read, who played with Williams in the national side, says it's a wake call to all past and present players of the standards expected of them.

"It's a reminder if you've been an All Black there's a brand or standard that needs to be kept," Read said.

"The All Blacks always want to keep standards high, it's important that you respect that.

"But if you make a mistake it's out there. It's disappointing."

The pair were arrested outside a nightclub near the Champs Elysees on Saturday and spent a night in jail.

Williams, 35, will appear in court at a later date having accepted a charge of buying cocaine, judicial sources say.

O'Connor, 26, faces a charge of possession. They were found with 2.4 grams of the drug.

Police, quoted by AFP, alleged Williams was seen in a car with two suspected drug dealers. O'Connor was allegedly spotted outside the car acting as a lookout.
