Gloucester's Tomos Williams scoops Gallagher Premiership award

Tomos Williams has become the second successive Gloucester star to be voted Gallagher Player of the Month.

Wales scrum-half Williams claimed 56 per cent of the public vote to emulate teammate Santi Carreras and scoop the award for March, ahead of Sale Sharks fly-half George Ford and Bath duo Will Muir and Finn Russell.

Williams impressed in a losing cause against Bath on March 23 – scoring one try and assisting another in a 42-26 defeat – and then set up two scores in the Cherry and Whites’ 53-28 dismantling of play-off rivals Bristol Bears six days later.

Gloucester currently sit fourth in the Gallagher Premiership table with five regular season matches to play and their scrum-half has provided seven tries and eight assists to the cause.

Mark Holmes, Managing Director, Swindon and Gloucester at Gallagher, said: “Tomos has played brilliantly and has been an integral part of the team’s overall performance so far this season.

“It is a pleasure to present him with the trophy for Gallagher Player of the Month.”

The Cherry and Whites will be back in action this Sunday, when they face Bath in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup at The Rec.

Williams and Co return to Premiership action at sixth-placed Saracens on April 19.
