Williams wants changes to disciplinary measures

LEINSTER coach Matt Williams is spearheading a call for changes in European Cup Rugby disciplinary measures.

Fuming after the injury suffered by Gordon D’Arcy against Montferrand in the Heineken Cup last weekend, Williams insists ERC Ltd should make immediate plans to introduce independent citing procedures for the players’ protection.

“There is a perception that by not citing the French player, we have left this issue behind us. We most certainly have not, and will be pursuing the introduction of new rules to make sure that neither ourselves or any other club in the competition have to go through what we did.”
