Two Ulster and Ireland rugby stars have denied wrongdoing after being questioned by police in connection with a number of alleged sexual offences.

Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding were two of three men arrested and interviewed in relation to alleged incidents at a property in south Belfast.

The men were released pending a police report being sent to prosecutors for assessment. The alleged offences and arrests happened in June, but details have only now emerged.

A statement from Ulster Rugby made clear the men maintain their innocence.
