Product Description

Shane Williams has spent almost a decade thrilling the rugby world with his evasive running skills & a box of tricks that has left the best defences grasping thin air disproving the notion that size matters in modern professional rugby. Hes been called the little wizard the artful dodger & a whole host of other superlatives & wherever Williams has played the crowd have been on the edge of their seats. As his teenage years came to an end Williams looked set for a life of relative obscurity playing scrum-half for his local side Amman United & scratching around in a variety of day jobs. All that changed however when he was plucked from nowhere by then Neath coach Lyn Jones & his rise to become Wales most dangerous strike runner was meteoric. Following his international debut aged 21 Williams lit up Wales 2003 World Cup campaign & went on to become an integral part of the Grand Slam-winning side of 2005 a year in which he also toured with the British Lions to New Zeal&. In 2008 when Wales took the Grand Slam once more he made a sensational contribution to the sides glorious victory. After leading the great Bryan Habana a merry dance on the way to two mesmerising tries on Wales tour to South Africa just two months later Williams became the first Welshman crowned IRB World Player of the Year that autumn. He then completed the 2008-09 season with a second Lions tour touching down twice in the 28-9 third Test victory against the Springboks. In Shane" Williams reveals the inside story of his incredible rugby career so far the personal trials that have come with success & how he has managed to defy the odds to become a living Welsh rugby legend."
