Retired All Black Tony Woodcock has been convicted and sentenced for drunk driving, according to reports.

NZME reports the 36-year-old was convicted and sentenced for driving over the limit earlier this month. He was disqualified from driving for six months and ordered to pay a $525 fine.

The ex-rugby player, now farmer, said he was "helping a mate kill some sheep and had had a few drinks afterwards" when he was stopped by police for a routine check, and was found over the limit. 

As well as the $525 fine, he was also ordered to pay $130 court costs and $209.25 in medical officer and analyst fees.
