Tomos Williams forced out of Lions tour due to hamstring issue
The British and Irish Lions have suffered a hammer blow after Tomos Williams was ruled out of the rest of their tour to Australia with the hamstring problem sustained against Western Force on Saturday.
Ben White has been called up from the Scotland squad that is currently in New Zealand to fill the vacancy created by Williams' injury, which occurred early in the second-half at Optus Stadium.
Two appearances into his debut Lions tour and Williams had laid down an early marker for Test selection at scrum-half with his two-try display in Perth placing him in pole position to face the Wallabies on July 19.
But the reigning Gallagher Premiership player of the season is now heading home to reduce Wales' representation in Andy Farrell's squad to a single player, Jac Morgan.
'Unfortunately Tomos has been ruled out of the rest of the tour with a hamstring injury. Ben White will join us from the Scotland squad and will fly over from New Zealand,' Farrell said.

Wimbledon Day 1 best bets, odds & 57/1 accumulator: British duo can shine on opening day
Wimbledon Day 1 Betting Tips Wimbledon Day 1 betting preview It's the day so much of the tennis world has been waiting for, the start of Wimbledon 2025, when all the talk will be about whites, strawberries and hopefully not the weather. For British players, the pressure is ramping up as the media pin their hopes on someone to replace Sir Andy Murray. For the rest of the field, they dream of lifting the trophies in almost a fortnight's time. Reigning men's champion Carlos Alcaraz gets play underway on Centre Court against a dangerous opponent in Fabio Fognini, while 14 Brits are in action on day one, including Katie Boulter, Jacob Fearnley, Emma Raducanu and Mimi Xu, who all feature on the show courts. We've put together a four-fold accumulator from the pick of the action, which pays 57/1 on Betway and equivalent betting sites. Fabio Fognini vs Carlos Alcaraz prediction This won't have been the draw either man wanted in the first round at SW19, but it has the potential to be a cracking match to kick off the action on Centre Court. Alcaraz has already shown good form on grass, winning at Queen's last week but in Fabio Fognini he faces a tricky opponent. He might be ranked 130 in the world right now, but the Italian has been as high as ninth and reached the third round on seven occasions including last year when he beat Casper Ruud in the second round, so Alcaraz will be wary. Unsurprisingly, tennis betting sites all have the world number two as favourite for the win at 1/100 while you can get 50/1 on Fognini causing one of the biggest shocks in tennis. It's hard to see anyone beating the Spaniard on grass but this one might just be a bigger test than many think, after all Fognini has nothing to lose as he closes in on retirement and he will enjoy one last match on Centre Court. Aryna Sabalenka vs Carson Branstine prediction World number one Aryna Sabalenka couldn't have had much of a kinder draw as she opens play on Court One against the world number 197 Carson Branstine. She has been enjoying life back at SW19 after missing last year's tournament through injury and is looking to add the title to the three Grand Slams she has already won. She was the beaten finalist at both this year's Australian and French Open so can it be third time lucky for the 27-year-old? Branstine, who came through qualifying, reached the semi-finals of junior Wimbledon in 2017 but this is her first time in the main draw, and it couldn't be a tougher proposition. Wimbledon Day 1 prediction 2: Under 16.5 games in Sabalenka v Branstine - 19/10 Betway Jacob Fearnley vs Joao Fonseca prediction It was this time last year that Jacob Fearnley really made a name for himself after he was given a wildcard to make his Wimbledon debut. He beat fellow debutant Alejandro Moro Canas and took a set a set off Novak Djokovic before he was eventually beaten in four sets. Twelve months ago, he was ranked just inside the world 300 and now he sits at 51 and as British number two behind Jack Draper. In Joao Fonseca he faces one of the brightest young stars coming through, who is just three places below him in the world. The 18-year-old reached the last 32 in Paris before he was beaten by Draper, but he has won just twice on grass, losing in the first round in Halle, before he was knocked out in Eastbourne by the eventual winner Taylor Fritz. This match will be played on Court One and Fearnley has that show court experience from last year so a lot will depend how quickly Fonseca can adapt to his surroundings in his first time in the main draw. Emma Raducanu vs Mimi XU prediction There is an all-British affair on Court One as Emma Raducanu takes on wild card Mimi Xu, looking to reach the second round for the fourth time. The US Open winner is back as British No 1 after an extended run of tournaments, and she will be desperate to keep up that form and move back up the rankings. 17-year-old Xu is making her Grand Slam debut, just as Raducanu did four years ago and she would love to have the same impact but with 278 places separating them in the world rankings we're not expecting a shock in this one. Wimbledon Day 1 prediction 4: Raducanu to win in two sets - 8/15 William Hill Please gamble responsibly Always practice responsible gambling.

Scotland's Ben White called up to British and Irish Lions squad
Ben White has been called up to the British and Irish Lions squad for their tour of Australia following an injury to Tomos Williams. The scrum-half becomes the eighth Scottish player to be included in the roster. He joins Scott Cummings, Huw Jones, Blair Kinghorn, Finn Russell, Pierre Schoeman, Sione Tuipulotu and Duhan van der Merwe. White was in New Zealand with Scotland when he received the call to join the Lions' tour. He has been replaced by Gus Warr, who has joined up with Gregor Townsend's men in Whangarei ahead of their game against the All Blacks this Saturday. On his call-up to the Lions, White said: 'It's pretty crazy and it's not sunk in yet, to be honest. He (Andy Farrell) called me this morning, and I've not stopped shaking since. It's an incredible honour. 'I called my mum and dad straight away. They were incredibly proud, and it was an amazing phone call to have. 'It's something you dream of, but not something you think you'll do. Along your rugby journey, there are a lot of people who help you to be where you are, especially your family, so I'm incredibly grateful (for the opportunity). 'There are a fair few Scottish boys in the squad so it'll be good to see them again and meet the guys I don't know too well. I'm really excited to get to know everyone and get going.'

Fault! Reform UK unleashes a volley of criticism at Wimbledon for scrapping line judges in favour of electronic calls as party suggests it's 'un-British'
Reform UK has delivered a volley of criticism at Wimbledon for scrapping line judges at this year's tennis championships. The party's deputy leader, Richard Tice, suggested the decision by tournament bosses to instead use an electronic system was 'un-British'. This is the first year in Wimbledon's 148-year history that there will be no line judges. It meant, as the two-week competition began this morning, the venue's iconic grass courts were much emptier than usual without the traditional team of officials. It follows a wider move within tennis towards electronic line calling, with many other tournaments around the world having also scrapped human officials. However, the French Open - one of the four 'Grand Slam' tournaments alongside Wimbledon, the US Open and Australian Open - has so far resisted the change. Wimbledon's removal of Ralph Lauren-clad line judges in favour of video technology to call shots in or out has been met with dismay by some. Posting on X/Twitter on Monday morning, Mr Tice wrote: 'We want our country back. We want Wimbledon line judges back. Enough is enough.' Yet others have welcomed the development as representing progress and bringing Wimbledon into line with most other tournaments. It should also mean no more rows between players and officials over line calls, which have provided some of the most famous moments in Wimbledon history. The All England Club has said around 80 former officials will be employed this year as match assistants. Two will be on each court to offer support to the umpire, while they will also provide back-up, should the electronic system fail. Another big change at this year's championships is the singles finals moving from 2pm to 4pm starts on the final weekend. Earlier this month it was announced how the prize money on offer at Wimbledon will increase by seven per cent to a total pot of £53.5million. The winners of the men's and women's singles titles will each receive £3million, an increase of more than 11 per cent on 2024. A main draw spot is worth a minimum of £66,000, up 10 per cent year on year.
