Solid 5th place of our team smashing USA in their turf. Too bad we had to play Fiji in QF. Fiji and South Africa are the only teams we can never beat.

Samoa Sevens player Gordon Langkilde has been arrested after an altercation that left Wales' Tom Williams with broken facial bones and two other players injured.

The incident occurred in the tunnel after Wales' Rugby World Cup Sevens win over Samoa on 22 July in the United States.

San Francisco Police confirmed Langkilde had been arrested "on the charges of Aggravated Assault (felony) and Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury".

 

The WRU also confirmed Williams' injuries.

Langkilde was booked into San Francisco County Jail, a police statement confirmed, while an "active and ongoing investigation" takes place.

The police statement issued confirmed reports three Wales players were hurt during the tournament but says Langkilde is accused of assaulting two players.

The incident took place in a tunnel leading from the playing field to the locker room area.

The WRU says no Welsh player is facing any sanctions for the incident.

Uruguay finished 20th yet again. Still, I prefer that to missing the 15-player World Cup.
