Thursday Round-Up
Williams Banned: Ulster No.8 Nick Williams has received an eight-week ban after being cited for striking Cardiff Blues Rhys Patchell during a Pro12 game. Williams received a yellow card following the first-half incident in Belfast last Friday night that resulted in Wales international Patchell being carried off and taken to hospital, where he was kept overnight. The No.8 is free to play again on September 1st but has the right to appeal the ban given to him.
Muiliana Zebre bound: After only 1 year with Connacht former All Black Mils Muiliana has secured a move away from the Irish province to Italian side Zebre. Muliaina has been playing for Connacht this term after arriving earlier in the season but he has chosen to make the move across to Italy for the 2015-16 campaign. He has played in 10 matches for the Galway based province and Pat Lam has hailed the impact the fullback has made saying that in one year he has made an 'everlasting contribution' to Connacht rugby.
