Wales' Shane Williams will bid a bittersweet farewell against Australia, according to the Daily Telegraph's Paul Hayward.
"Williams, who steps down on Saturday against Australia, at 34, has dodged many a monstrous foe while earning his 86 caps and 57 tries in Test rugby. Age, though, will not be sidestepped, however bright the new Welsh world around him.
“I’d love to be the same age as George North and these boys coming through,” he agrees. “I can’t complain about getting old, I’ve enjoyed my career. I wouldn’t change any of it. It would have been nice to take a couple of years off and play with these boys a bit longer but I’m excited about this Welsh squad. I’ll be one of the mad supporters who follow them everywhere. I expect big things from them.”
"No wonder Barry John reveres him. Williams turns the film back to the golden age of ingenuity, before academies, before wings built-like back-row forwards and, yes, before abstemiousness in matters of liquid refreshment."
