England skipper George Williams’ Test ban adds frustration after league woe

GEORGE Williams has had more frustration piled on after being banned from captaining England in their first Test against Tonga.

The half back was given a one-match punishment for a late hit on St Helens’ SIone Mata’utia as Warrington lost Saturday’s play-off eliminator 16-8.

And because no other matches were already scheduled when it was handed down, the skipper’s only way out of sitting out the first clash of the series, on Sunday, October 22, is an appeal.

Williams’ suspension came after he lifted the lid on big issues that plagued Warrington’s season – the blame game and being a team.

But new Wolves boss Sam Burgess will have no problem building on what interim Gary Chambers instilled.
