The Ospreys have announced a new deal for their Wales international fly-half Owen Williams.

Former Worcester player Williams joined the Ospreys halfway through this season after the Warriors went into administration, playing key roles in Heineken Champions Cup victories over Montpellier and Leicester.

He also increased his Wales caps tally to seven and looks set to challenge strongly for a World Cup squad place later this year.

Ospreys head coach Toby Booth said: “I am delighted that Owen has decided to re-sign with us. He is an incredibly talented player who brings invaluable experience to our squad.

“Owen has been a key part of our team this season. His ability to manage games and dictate the pace of play has been instrumental for the team.”

How leviathan Will Skelton and the Wallabies reversed the World Cup fiasco

Which game did Nasser outplay Faessler for the wallabies? Is Nasser a better scrummager than BPA? Both Kiss and Schmidt seem to have him behind Faessler at the moment, there must be something they aren't seeing...

Thanks Nick. Surely they will thump Japan this week and the pressure will be off. Do you want to make a prediction that the defence coach will go before the Six Nations? England seem to want Borthwick there for a long time so surely they will back Bortho and look for a new defence coach?

Yes, Carlos, I sensed before hand this would be a very close game, even could see an Arg. win....well, they have beaten all their three SH compatriots this year, then added Italy. And as nick says below, they were winners of the breakdown for a lot of the game, and both sides of the ball too.


Felipe very highly regarded in Ireland, esp. Leinster.


Good luck this weekend !

Jake, I think England has a 10 in Smith, it is the game plan that ain't working for them. They are back to plodding along hoping for a penalty or drop goal to win the game.

Did Rassie Erasmus miss a trick with his latest South Africa squad?

That's really stupidly pedantic. Let's say the gods had smiled on us, and we were playing Ireland in Belfast on this trip. Then you'd be happy to accept it as a tour of the UK. But they're not going to Australia, or Peru, or the Philippines, they're going to the UK. If they had a match in Paris it would be fair to call it the "end-of-year European tour". I think your issue has less to do with the definition of the United Kingdom, and is more about what is meant by the word "tour". By your definition of the word, a road trip starting in Marseilles, tootling through the Massif Central and cruising down to pop in at La Rochelle, then heading north to Cherbourg, moving along the coast to imagine what it was like on the beach at Dunkirk, cutting east to Strasbourg and ending in Lyon cannot be called a "tour of France" because there's no visit to St. Tropez, or the Louvre, or Martinique in the Caribbean.

Just thought for a moment you might have gathered some commonsense from a southerner or a NZer and shut up. But no, idiots aren't smart enough to realise they are idiots.

'Passionate reunion of France and New Zealand shows Fabien Galthie is wrong to rest his stars'

In your opinion because he's a Crusader. We talk about parochialism in our game but people like you and Jacko take it to a whole new level in your consistent antagonism to Crusader players.

Probably blooded more new players than any other country but still gets stick. If any other coach did same , they would get ripped to shreds. When you are at the top , people will always try to knock you down.

Must be because he's an English coach coaching an English team.

By that logic the Boks could play Wales and Scotland and call it a tour of the UK.

Sadness pervades as Gatland stands on the brink of Welsh exit

A new coach won’t solve all our ills which are abundant, but as with Aussie coach and many soccer examples, a new voice can provide success in the short term, bring breathing space while the WRU, academies, regions, under 20’s etc can be totally stress tested, a system put in place for long term success. I won’t hold my breath. The WRU put Gatlands contract in place, which was over generous with no break clause-they should be the ones to take the hit when he goes. Walker first to be dismissed, his salary can contribute.

Let's be real about these All Blacks

It’s obvious that Ben has beef with anything South African. Probably never set foot on the field with his limited knowledge .All the top teams are extremely close with a bounce of ball or contentious call impacting a result. Not all teams can stay at their pinnacle. The Boks are benefiting from good structures & depth at the moment. Could have , should have , would have & I might have been a millionaire. We will enjoy our time at the top but NZ will come again.
