No Sanction Against Williams

No sanction was applied against Nick Williams following a Disciplinary Hearing arising from a citing in the game against Leinster last weekend.

For some reason best known to themselves Celtic Rugby had Williams, team manager Shaun Payne and their legal representative travel all the way to Belfast for a hearing and outcome that lasted less than an hour.

Williams, who has been released by Munster at season’s end, had been cited for an alleged stamp on Jonathan Sexton.

That hearing was followed by the case against Stanley Wright for an alleged punch on Alan Quinlan in the same game. It is understood that Quinlan submitted a letter in defence of Wright.
