Picture of Shane Williams

Fleet-footed Williams is not just one of the most exciting players in the modern game, he also has one of the best strike rates in world rugby, with 41 tries in just 56 Test appearances.

His short and compact physique, combined with blistering speed and an ability to change direction in an instant makes the Welshman virtually impossible to stop once he’s holding the ball and has the try line in sight.

Williams has played club rugby for Amman United, Neath and Ospreys. He earned his first Welsh cap against Argentina in 2000 and has since gone on to tour with the British and Irish Lions, receive the IRB 2008 International Player of the Year and win the 2008 BBC Welsh Sports Personality Of The Year.
