Shane Williams – What a last try for the Ospreys – or is it?

Shane Williams the Welch International famous for blistering attacking runs down the wing has decided to retire. Playing in his last game for the Ospreys he scored another fantastic try. I’ve posted a clip on You Tube and all I can say is ‘Don’t try this at home ‘.



Shane Williams quit test rugby in December, scoring 58 tries in 87 games. Being only 5ft 7ins Williams bucked the trend for powerhouse wingers and was named Player of the year in 2008.

With Ospreys safe in the top four, a home semi final spot is all but assured, which means that we actually might be seeing Shane again, for yet another farewell match. To quote Williams: -

"I'm not injured, which is great, and I'm there in contention for selection. I would never say no. If selected, great," said Williams. "It’s not the end of the line yet even if I'm not selected by the Ospreys because I'm involved with the Barbarians.

"But, if selected, I will certainly give my utmost in all the games,"
