TOMOS IS A MASSIVE LOSS, SAYS FARRELL

July 03, 2025

ANDY Farrell admits Tomos Williams will be a major loss for the British and Irish Lions after he was forced out of the Australia tour with a significant hamstring injury.

- DUNCAN BECH

Williams, one of only two Wales players picked by the Lions, is returning home after Farrell revealed the damage incurred while scoring the second of his two excellent tries against Western Force on Saturday will sideline him for the “medium to long term”.

Ben White has been called up from the Scotland squad currently in New Zealand and has been joined by Blair Kinghorn, who is now available after helping Toulouse win the Top 14 final.

For Williams, it is a case of what might have been, as the reigning Gallagher Premiership player of the year had been outstanding in his two appearances on tour, placing him firmly in contention for a Test place against the Wallabies.
