The Daily Telegraph reports the National Rugby League club has met with Williams' agent Khoder Nasser in the past week and will attempt to lure the headline grabbing All Black midfielder back to Bondi Junction with a lifetime contract.

Roosters boss Nick Politis wants Williams wearing a tri-colours jersey as soon as this year — and he's prepared to offer him a multi-million-dollar lifetime contract to make it happen.

In other matches former Wallaby George Smith's Wasps sealed their last eight place with the English club recording a crushing 51-10 home victory over Irish side Leinster.

English club Wasps looked like they had beaten the defending champions when Guy Thompson scored in the corner, but Toulon replied with an injury-time try to Wallabies wing Drew Mitchell for a vital 15-11 win.

Running off a perfectly timed pass from Nonu, Mitchell hit the gas and sped away for the crucial try, and the win that takes Toulon to the top of Pool 5.

The two images, which Stuff has chosen not to publish due to their graphic nature, show young children lying on the ground with wounds to their heads, torso and legs. 

"What did these children do to deserve this?" Williams tweeted on Tuesday evening. 

This summer share a thought for the innocent lives lost everyday in war."

"This is the first time the Chinese Embassy has opted to assist us with our rugby efforts, and we thank you for this donation to assist with our rugby developments," said Prime Minister Tuilaepa.

Ambassador Wang said the Chinese Embassy would like to do more and have greater cooperation with Samoa and rugby is another way for China to assist.
