Pau sign ex-England prop Harry Williams
By Josh Raisey
Pau have announced the signing of former England tighthead prop Harry Williams, as reported by RugbyPass.
The 32-year-old has signed on a one-year deal with an option to extend, and will provide cover for Siate Tokolahi, who ruptured his Achilles in the final game of last season.
Williams left Montpellier earlier this month after only a season at the club, but was not out of employment for long.
He will reunite with his former Exeter Chiefs teammate Joe Simmonds, who arrived at the Stade du Hameau at the beginning of last season.
"Pau contacted me, the project appealed to me and it convinced me to come," Williams said after signing.
"It was a good opportunity to discover another club. I like the stadium, the city and the mountains, I have already had the opportunity to visit Pau with Joe Simmonds. I am looking forward to the start of the season, I am very happy to join the club!"
Pau head coach Sébastien Piqueronies added: "In order to compensate for Siate's injury, we took the time to identify the profile best suited to our needs and requirements. Harry is an experienced prop who has won titles. This is a strong addition to our project!"

Yes SW's comments made the most sense to me given what I'd been told and what I'd seen from the outside looking in Ed.
It sounds like ppl were given room to wriggle out of a sense of responsibility, and that's how it felt at the time.
As you say the geopolitics are now working against NZ. If the URC expands to include English sides it will become the biggest, and in time prob the best league in the world. It could have as many as six diff natiosn all competing in one comp.
I reckon the ABs deserved to win on Saturday even though England should have put the game away at the end. NZ were the better attacking team.
