Wales and Scarlets full-back Liam Williams out for up to six weeks

Wales and Scarlets full-back Liam Williams has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
The 24-year old suffered the injury during Wales' Six Nations finale against Italy on March 19, and subsequently missed Scarlets' derby clash with Ospreys on Saturday.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac has now revealed Williams could be sidelined for the rest of the PRO12 season.
"Four to six weeks is what we're told - don't expect to see him in the next few weeks," said Pivac, whose side face Munster on May 7 in their final regular season game.
It has been an injury-hit year for Williams, who has managed just one PRO12 appearance all season. That was after he aggravated an ankle injury during the World Cup, keeping him out until he joined Wales for the Six Nations.
Pivac added: "We've had 60 minutes from him so far this season which is disappointing but there's no one more disappointed than Liam.
"We just have to get him right for the latter part and who knows there may be more rugby to come."
However, there was some good news for Scarlets as Pivac confirmed centre Scott Williams, who suffered a knee injury during Wales' World Cup win over England in October, should return at the end of April.
Both will be hoping to feature in Wales' Test against England on May 29 before Warren Gatland's side head for their summer tour in New Zealand.
