Williams returns to Blues for first game in two years

6:44 pm on 3 February 2011

Ali Williams will have his first match in a Blues jersey in two years when he plays against the Hurricanes in a Super rugby pre season match in Kerikeri tomorrow.

The All Blacks lock has suffered Achilles problems which have ruined his test career but he's spent the last month play for English club Nottingham.

Meanwhile the former All Blacks captain 37 year old Tana Umaga will start at second five for the Chiefs against the Highlanders in Taupo on Saturday.
