Tomos Williams

Jac Morgan is the sole remaining Welshman on the British and Irish Lions tour after it was confirmed Tomos Williams would play no further part for Andy Farrell's side due to a hamstring injury.

Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams faces a race to be fit for the British and Irish Lions' first Test against Australia after being withdrawn through injury in his side's victory against Western Force.

There is no Jac Morgan in the Lions team for their opening game in Australia, but the Western Force fixture is a major opportunity for Tomos Williams.

The Welsh representation on the Lions tour may be small - just two players - but both Jac Morgan and Tomos Williams should get a chance to impress in the first game.

The Lions tour starts in Dublin next week when two Welsh players will be hoping to earn a chance to impress against Argentina.

Back in 2013, 10 Welsh players made the Lions XV for the final Test against Australia. Now, only two have made the squad.

Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams was labelled a “cheeky chappy” as well as a matchwinner after his brilliant display for Gloucester. Less than two weeks before Wales coach Warren Gatland names his squad for the Six Nations, Williams gave a masterclass for his English club, spearheading Gloucester’s 36-20 triumph over Sale Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership.

Cardiff have admitted they were unable to compete with the deal Tomos Williams has signed to move from the Arms Park to Gloucester. The Wales scrum-half will move over the border at the end of the season, the latest in a long line of departures of Wales’ top talent from the domestic game.

By Graham Thomas Tomos Williams has warned Wales they will face an emergency if they only shout, “nine, nine, nine!” when they defend their lines against France on Friday night. The two most skilled scrum-halves in the Six Nations will go head-to-head in Cardiff when Williams faces French superstar Antoine Dupont. But even though Dupont […]

Two young Wales players have shown the benefit of a multi-sport approach at this World Cup. Aaron Wainwright’s football background has been widely celebrated, but the basketball skills of Tomos Williams have been just as significant, says Kasey Rees. As Wales prepare to face New Zealand on Friday in the World Cup third-place play-off, those looking for uplifting signs for the future could do worse than consider the impact of Tomos Williams. For his last World Cup campaign Warren Gatland has certainly seen the benefit in selecting multi-skilled players – those such as ex-footballer Aaron Wainwright and Tomos Williams, whose background is in basketball.

Tomos Williams will make his Six Nations debut against France in Paris on Friday night after getting the nod for the scrum-half spot. The Cardiff Blues ace has been picked ahead of Gareth Davies – who starts on the bench – by head coach Warren Gatland. Gatland has made just three changes to the team that beat South Africa last November despite Wales’ injury issues over the past few weeks.

Tomos Williams grew up wishing he was Kobe Bryant or Shaq O’Neal but now wants to be the new Mike Phillips. Wales have not had an undisputed, unchallenged, first-name-on the-team-sheet scrum-half since the days of Phillips, the almost original Iron Mike. But Williams – who grew up favouring basketball over rugby and idolised the top American stars – has big plans ahead, starting with Friday night in Paris, and Warren Gatland might just share them.
