7.  Nick Evans had departed injured in the 47th minute of the 6-5
defeat by Leinster before his replacement at number 10, Chris
Malone, also went off injured later in the second half.
With time running out, Williams was seen with what appeared to be
blood coming out of his mouth, which meant he could go off to be
replaced by specialist kicker Evans.
Evans missed a drop goal as the Irish side held out for the win
before going on to win the Heineken Cup.
Television pictures appeared to show Williams winking at the bench
as he went off.
Leinster were incensed and their club doctor, Professor Arthur
Tanner, followed Williams down the tunnel but was prevented from
entering the treatment room.
