Tom Williams (rugby union)

Tom Williams (born 12 October 1983 in Brighton, England) is a former English rugby union player who played for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership. He normally played at either full-back or on the wing.
Williams represented Wales at U16 and U19 level, then switched to England for the 2002 IRB U19 World Cup.
Williams represented England in the 2003-04 World Sevens Series, winning the Hong Kong leg. He also competed in the 2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series.
He started and scored a try for Harlequins in their 2011–12 Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers.

During the 2008–09 Heineken Cup quarter final against Leinster, Williams faked a blood injury to allow a tactical substituition to reintroduce Nick Evans leading to the bloodgate scandal. He then insisted the club doctor, Dr Wendy Chapman, cut his lip to create a real injury to cover-up the cheat, which she then carried out. This resulted in a 12-month ban for the disgraced Williams, (reduced to four months on appeal), a three-year ban for former director of rugby and former policeman Dean Richards as well as a two-year ban for physiotherapist Steph Brennan from the ERC with a £260,000 fine for the club.
