MEN’S RUGBY UNION: Liam Williams has left Japanese side Kubota Spears after just six appearances to sign for one of his former clubs Saracens.

Thirty-three-year-old Williams, who has 92 Welsh caps and four for the British and Irish Lions, made 31 appearances for Saracens, winning the English Premiership and European champions Cup with them in 2019.

He departed the club after they were found guilty of breaching salary cap rules in 2020.
