Shane Williams emotional after final Wales appearance

Williams emotional after final Wales match

Winger Shane Williams said that he had had "the best time of my life" after his final appearance for Wales against Australia at the Millennium Stadium.

Despite the Wallabies' 24-18 win, the 34-year-old signed off from international duty in fitting fashion as he scored a try with the last move of the match.

"It's meant everything," he said afterwards. "Growing up as a child that's the only thing you want to do, play for Wales.

"I have been very privileged and lucky to have that chance. I've had the best time of my life.

"Every time I pull on this jersey it's the best feeling ever. I'm going to miss it. It's been a great journey for me."

Williams, who is Wales's all-time leading try scorer, won 87 caps after his debut in 2000.
