Tana Umaga to play again as Sonny Bill Williams stays at Toulon
Money Bill Williams looks set to remain at French rugby club Toulon - for the time being at least - after club coach Tana Umaga was sensationally returned to the playing ranks.
It was thought Umaga - one of the men credited with luring Williams from the Bulldogs - would be sacked today, possibly further weakening Williams' position at the club.
But in a surprise move, former All Blacks captain Umaga, 35, will resume his playing career, 18 months after retiring.
He will retain the coaching role, but Sale coach and former France skipper Philippe Saint-Andre is the club's new sporting director.
It was thought Saint-Andre would directly replace Umaga as coach of Toulon.
Despite the retention of Umaga, Williams' position at the club could still be in jeopardy.
The injury-prone NRL star, returning from a long stint on the sidelines with a broken leg, has only played in five of Toulon's regular season matches.
