Shane Williams says that December's match against Australia at the Millennium Stadium will be his last for Wales.

Wales winger Shane Williams has planned his retirement from international rugby.

Wales's all-time leading try scorer has said that he wishes to play his last game for his country against Australia at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, December 3.

"I am going to make myself available for this game," the 34-year-old told the Wales on Sunday. "If selected, I want to play.

"If I am picked I will treat it in the same way I have always treated Wales games, but it will be a sad day for me. In fact, I'll be devastated.

"But to bow out in front of Welsh fans and my family and friends would be like a dream."

Williams, who made his debut for Wales in 2000, has gone on to win 86 caps for his country.
