For those of you who like to spend time selecting your favourite pass of the Premiership season, there may already be a winner. Tomos Williams’s flicked no-look pass to set up a try in Gloucester’s rout of Bristol Bears had everyone swooning, a remnant from his days as a basketball player representing Wales at Under-16 level.
Joining the academy at Cardiff Rugby meant Williams pressed pause on shooting three-pointers, a decision which has worked out rather well. Wales potentially missed out on their own Steph Curry but gained an excellent scrum-half. Still, that time spent playing other sports has clearly had its benefits, with Williams sneaking in a bit of recreational basketball with his brothers, Owen and Lloyd, when possible.
