Welsh wizard Williams will be sorely missed

Writing in the Irish Independent, Tony Ward pays tribute to Wales' Shane Williams ahead of his final international outing.

"Fifty-seven tries in 87 Test appearances represents a remarkable strike rate -- a phenomenal achievement by a phenomenal player. What I admired about him more than anything was his willingness to give it a go from anywhere.

"He is a role model for every aspiring wing, in terms of his ability and desire to sniff out ball. The great players are able to make time and space and attract the ball like a magnet. Williams will be remembered as just that: the magnetic winger supreme."
