After playing in the defeat by Scotland last weekend, Tigers Academy wing Williams and his colleagues will be determined to bounce back as head coach Allan Lewis makes seven changes to his side.
Lewis said: “We always said every player would have a chance to start at least one game, or have a decent amount of game time, it’s a case of rotating the squad and giving everyone an opportunity. We have looked at the footage of the Scotland game and have tried to highlight weaknesses in attack, while Shaun Edwards has had more of a chance to work on our defence ahead of this game, which has been a positive experience for the boys.
“We were bitterly disappointed to lose on Friday, especially after being 14 points ahead early in the second half. But we have a chance to put things right and if we win we will play the winners of Georgia versus Italy.”
