Western Mail
|October 04, 2025
WALES centre Johnny Williams captains the Scarlets for the first time at Connacht this afternoon (1.45pm) as injuries force head coach Dwayne Peel into three starting changes.
-
Williams (pictured) takes over the captaincy after Josh Macleod was ruled out by a pectoral injury in training one of several key players missing for the URC trip to Galway.
Williams takes over at centre in place of Joe Hawkins who replaces fly-half Sam Costelow following his concussion against Munster, while Jarrod Taylor and Dan Davis are called into the back-row.
“Josh is a great captain and will be sorely missed. We're carrying a small squad but there are opportunities for guys to step up,” said Peel.
