Injured scrum-half Williams ruled out of Lions tour
The British and Irish Lions suffered a setback Monday with experienced scrum-half Tomos Williams ruled out of the rest of the Australia tour with a hamstring injury.
Williams, a veteran of 65 Tests for Wales, clutched at the back of his left leg early in the second-half after scoring the second of his two tries against Western Force in the tour opener on Saturday.
He limped out and will play no further part in the nine-match tour.
"We can confirm that Tomos Williams suffered a tour-ending injury in Saturday's win against Western Force in Perth," said the Lions.
Toulon and Scotland's Ben White, who was deemed unlucky to miss out on the 38-man squad, has been called up to replace Williams.
Ireland's Jamison Gibson-Park will be on scrum-half duties for their clash against Queensland Reds in Brisbane on Wednesday after missing the Force game with a glute injury.
