MORGAN WILLIAMS , Saracens' Canadian scrum-half, will step off a 20-hour flight from Sydney tomorrow (Saturday, November 1) morning and will be pitched straight into the squad for the crunch clash away at Rotherham Titans just hours later in a bid to ease the club's back-line crisis.
The 27-year-old half-back, who touches down in London at 6.30am tomorrow, will be the first Saracen home from the World Cup after Canada's involvement in the World Cup ended with a 24-7 at the hands of Tonga on Wednesday, October 29. Williams will be a welcome, if slightly weary, addition after the Men in Black saw their injury woes extended and compounded this week.
Mark Bartholomeusz, the utility back on loan from ACT Brumbies, looks to have played his last game for the Men in Black after it was revealed he has ruptured his AC joint.
The 26-year-old, who left the field clutching his shoulder after 65 minutes on Sunday, will be out for a maximum six weeks and joins fellow backs Thomas Castaignède, Kevin Sorrell, Nathan McAvoy in the treatment room while Kyran Bracken and Nicky Little are all still involved in the World Cup.
