One of the branches of Williams’ facial artery was severed and he lost two pints of blood. The club doctor, however, none other than Williams’ own father, began switching up his son’s cheek (30 stitches were required). While his father stitched the outside of the cheek, a local dentist stitched from the inside.</p> <p>Light-headed, short of blood and swollen-faced, Williams was in a terrible state. But when his father finished the job, he turned to his son with a simple message: “Get out there!” (Remember, by the way, that rugby union was an amateur sport, so Williams was playing for honour not profit.) Williams’ brothers, who had watched the operation, thought it was a crazy idea. So the family was split: the brothers urging sanity, the father demanding heroism. <strong>Williams sided with his father. He returned to battle and finished the match</strong> - with his club Bridgend nearly beating the infinitely more powerful All Blacks.</p> </div> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </blockquote>http://bloodyrugby.tumblr.com/post/40604465934http://bloodyrugby.tumblr.com/post/40604465934Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:53:00 -0500JPR WilliamsBloodRugbyInjuryboot to faceboot-to-faceboot-to-face incidents
