New revelations about a reported mugging of Ian Foster's wife and daughter in Paris, just days before the start of the Rugby World Cup.

1 News is reporting Leigh Foster and 24-year-old Football Fern Michaela Foster were accosted by a man with a knife near the All Blacks' hotel in early September.

All Blacks management subsequently warned people travelling in their contingent not to go out at night.

Newstalk ZB’s Paris correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that the hotel —allocated to the All Blacks at random— was in a notorious part of the city.

She says the area —on the south-east of greater Paris— is well known for the amount of violence that goes on there.
