for all of u out there thinking the aussies let him have it you should seriously watch shane williams play abit more , he steps anything if he needs to he can get around players so easy that was a normal try for him , and if there is somthing you learn for playing for an international side its that you dont let any player score no matter what sort of game it is and you dont give up , anyways im gunna miss you shane you were an amazing player and its going to be hard to find sombody of your skill
I bet Australia let him have that one, the first tackler was going for Williams' toes and the second was just practising for the synchronised swimming. Nice way to bow out though, outstanding player.
@mattyy2009 I doubt the Aussies deliberately let him have it. It was probably a case of the defender knowing the significance of marking Shane Williams at that point, panicking, and bursting out of the line when he shouldn't have.
@somerandomer international rugby players? I don't think so. Just look at the way they go for him. Doesn't help Williams' is fast but they really didn't make much of an attempt to tackle him.
@mattyy2009 so you think it's absurd that an international player would panic and make a defensive error, but entirely plausible that they would just allow the opposition to score out of sentiment?
@somerandomer well yes. Let's face it, the match was only played for Williams' sake, it was a pointless fixture straight after the World Cup. Australia were winning by enough that a try against them in the last minute wouldn't matter in the slightest. If you're saying those 2 missed tackles were defensive errors then the Australians need to reconsider their selections a bit more.
I was there at this match and there wasnt a dry eye in the stadium... Broke my heart when he scored the final try, was a very emotional day.. I love you shaney... Such a legend and an amazing player
@huntsmanbows OMFG! Yes its the Fucking Military mascot! Sorry, i'm not trying to take it out on you or anything, it's just that my great grandfather used to look after it and lead it so i was a bit insulted :L
@legendLilLew Yes, been a great captain and player. Saved us on a few occasion (Recent ones vs England and Italy in the 6 nations) so it will be a huge honour for him. Dont worry, it will be Shane getting one soon!
@ThatGamingBloke Yeah I think wales will slip up against someone, so we'll finish 2nd. I think for Scotland it's a bit of a fresh start with some new players replacing paterson e.t.c. Hope Scotland do well because they have always played some good rugby and are enjoyable to watch. England for me are probably gonna be the interesting ones because they could have a really shit 6 nations, or end up winning it. All in all it will ne very interesting at the least! Good luck m8!
@legendLilLew Yeah, unfortuntly I think it Wales will slip up, the 1st game vs Ireland will be interesting. It will probably decide the triple crown in my opinion. For the opening day Im predicting France win (New coach and by 10+ points), a Scotland win (New players, by about 3-10 points) and Wales (To edge it and win by 3-5 points) Cant wait though only 4 weeks
I remember watching him play one of his first games for Neath coming on after the scrum half got injured... What a great player and an amazing international career!
I am a hard out Englishman, hard out rugby man and England supporter. Shame Williams is a TRUE legend of the game, a true genleman and great Welshman. Have a great retirement Shane, it has been a real pleasure watching you play the game. One of the greats.
Being an England fan, I have a strong genetic hatred of the Welsh, but I have to say I'm completely in love with Shane Williams - what a player and what a gent. Thanks for the memories, Shane!
Without doubt the best win of all time not only for points and try also reached if not for their speed and agility and performance as a player. And as with injuries sustained during the 2003 and 2004 went on simply the best and Little Giant Shane williams Thanks for your inspiration from Argentina Ezequiel
Shane Williams one of the true champions and good guys of world rugby. Im a wallabies supporter and jumped out of my couch and cheered when he went over for the last try.
Such a legend of a player. Was such a fairytale ending that he got the last try and in injury time! What a celebration mid try also :D
Shane Williams shows all small players getting into the game that it is not your height that matters but your heart and determination. A True Rugby Legend.
look at Aussie no.10 O'Connor... he wanted to give Shane a massive congrats hug when he scored that!!! Shane, we owe you a decade of giving joy to us. Thanks man!!! Diolch yn fawr i chi brawd!!!
Bloody hell, I've watched this so many times now.. and it still gets to me, just can't stop crying when watching this. Shane is everything that is good about Welsh rugby and rugby in general.
Legend is so over-used these days, but without a doubt he will always be remembered as a true Welsh great and Welsh legend.
Diolch am yr atgofion, y byddwch yn ei golli...Cariad mawr X.
@2camelzanda7inycar Seriously!?! Your opinion on Brian Moore is a pile of wank you immature little shit. I'd like you to say all that bullshit you just said to his face because he would snap you in half.
@zXzDAV3zXz Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, don't get so worked up... I never said he was a bad player, he probably could snap both of us in half, I just said he was a shit commentator
@2camelzanda7inycar I never said anything about how he plays, I just said you're a complete arsehole for calling him a stupid bellend and this video is about Shane Williams, not Brian Moore so it didnt need your stupid comment in the first place.
@zXzDAV3zXz I was thinking the part about him snapping me in half would be about how he plays, or was that a mindless insult? And you've just backed up my first point about it being about Shane, I was saying that Brian Moore was ruining the moment. Learn to argue properly, insulting me isn't helping your point at all.
@2camelzanda7inycar You never actually said he was ruining the moment you were just throwing "mindless" insults at him. And snapping you in half is nothing about how he plays, just how you've got the balls to insult him over youtube. But I'm pretty sure you wouldnt say it to his face, because he would snap you in half. "Learn to argue properly" ;)
@zXzDAV3zXz Look at my first comment again, about how I was annoyed that he kept drawing attention to himself. And I'll be sure to tell him face to face next time I see him in Tescos.
Im sorry, have to say it, Williams > Lomu for the best winger of all time slot. I don't normally say that as I hate comparing greats. Williams, so nimble even at the end of his career, he could still terrorize defences for the next few years with ease but knows when to bow out with grace.
@dadubs93 Lomu>Williams. I completely respect your opinion, not looking for an argument here, I just don't see it. Williams is probably the closest to Lomu though, I'd rather not have to pick between them any day!
@HelloIamBarnsy Hi, I love this, a respectful debate, that's why rugby supporters are better than football, anyway, I have to agree that Shane is the better player. Lomu was undeniably great but he had brute strength and power, it was possible to defend against him if you got down low, and you always knew what he would throw at you. But Shane was a player that when he had a bit of space, and confidence,he could beat anyone and there was no way you could possibly defend his sidestep.
rugby will miss you shane.i dont think there was a dry eye yesterday. fitting ending to such a magnificent career. coming from a munster fan and all proper rugby fans everywhere
i followed cullen and robinson and I agree they are fellow all time great broken field runners....BUT shane is better than both PLUS he had greater longevity too..cullen got injured early in his career but for those 5 or 6 years he was unbelievable...billy whizz robinson scored a few crucial tries for england especially at world cup...he got alot more ball than shane as robinson played behind a far superior pack for years...but over their rugby union careers robinsons doesnt even compare
best broken field runner ever....most entertaining player ever...I salute you shane ....you little beauty....you gave u snothing but joy...thank you for everything
