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.”

Antoine Dupont undergoes surgery on injured knee ahead of long absence

Rugby incident, happens scores of times in a game. Dupont wasn’t even hit with much force, Beirne just clears him and force is added from behind from Furlong.

We can’t have special treatment for France just because their star is the one who gets unlucky.

There is already a lack of clarity around actual Written decisions and how they differ from bans.

For example, Mauvaka the official written decision states Mauvaka to have made a ‘reckless’, ‘deliberate’, shot ‘to the head’ of a ‘player in a vulnerable position’ on the ground. That’s a high level entry ban of 10 weeks. However, the press release did not show ‘reckless’ or ‘vulnerable player’ ticked alloweing Mauvaka to enter at the 6 match mid range.

Similarly Ntamack’s written report showed that it was a ‘reckless’, ‘head shot’ with ‘injury’. The injury was a fully displaced nose bone and Ntamack apologizes for the injury in the written report. This should give Ntamack an entry level of 6 weeks but in the Press Release ‘Injured’ is unticked meaning Ntamack gets away with a 4 week entry ban. This is not counting the fact that the world knows he deliberately injured Thomas.

No. France have been abusing the system for years, recently spreading disinformation about the Ringrose ban in order to undermine confidence in the process.

Giving France even more special treatment is not the answer.
