Andy Howell, of the Western Mail, talks to Scarlets youngster Liam Williams as he prepares to face Ronan O'Gara.
"Liam Williams has done a Leigh Halfpenny and challenged Ronan O’Gara to pepper him with up-and-unders at Parc y Scarlets tomorrow.
Halfpenny issued his “bring it on” plea ahead of Wales’ World Cup quarter-final with Ireland in wet and windy New Zealand capital Wellington two months ago. And veteran outside-half O’Gara proceeded to have one of his worst games for the Emerald Isle as they crashed to a 22-10 defeat at the ‘Cake-tin’.
But exciting Scarlets full-back find Williams, who was in the Wales squad for last weekend’s Test with Australia, certainly won’t be taking Ireland and the Heineken Cup’s record points-scorer lightly when Munster pitch up at Llanelli.
“O’Gara has got a very good mix to his kicking game,” said the 21-year-old Wales Under-20 international. “He’s able to go long and hit grass but, if I’m back, he will put it up. I’m more than happy to take those balls."
