Sonny Bill injured at Toulon

Toulon's New Zealand backrower Sonny Bill Williams will be out of action for three weeks after picking up an injury in French club rugby at the weekend.

The 23-year-old, who controversially joined the French Top 14 team from the Canterbury Bulldogs National Rugby League club last month, was hurt during Saturday's draw with Brive.

Williams sparked a media storm when he left Australia mid-season to switch codes and play in Europe despite being contracted with the Bulldogs.
