...chipper-looking Williams spat out after his "injury" - the fake blood capsule released a volume of crimson so spectacular, it could choke a member of Kiss. Also, TV commentators covering the match live noted suspiciously that the injury had befallen Williams at the very moment the Harlequins needed a crack kicker to take the penalty.
