Shane Williams praised

Welsh try machine Shane Williams has been praised by Wales assistant coach Rob Howley this week after his startling performances so far in the Six Nations. This weekend Williams has a record set in his sights a just one try against Ireland this weekend will see him match Gareth Thomas try record of 40 tries in 100 tests. Howley told the RBS 6 Nations Website that Williams is very hard to play against due to his great agility and hunger to score tries.

Shane Williams however is flattered by the comments and honoured to mentioned in the same sentence as a Welsh rugby hero. Williams has yet to score a try against Ireland however but the Wales star winger is confident that the team can press the opposition for a full 80 minutes to get results.
