Wednesday Round-Up

Williams to retire: Quins winger Tom Williams is set to retire at the end of the season after 13 years at the club. Williams has made over 200 appearances for Quins and is set to stay with the club in a coaching role. Williams is famous for his role in the controversial bloodgate scandal in 2009, when he left the field after biting on a fake blood capsule during a Heineken Cup quarter-final against Leinster in order to facilitate a tactical substitution for goalkicker Nick Evans to rejoin the action. Williams who was banned for 4 months for that incident said upon retiring, "Time and injury have caught up with me over the last two years, and while I may have one or two regrets, I can look back on my career with Harlequins with immense pride.
