Shane Williams' last try and emotional interview

[@EpicMushroom27]

Absolute legend of the game. NZ Supporter here. Loved seeing Shane play.

[@dominicgallagher8930]

Love the way he went back and played club rugby for his local side after retiring. Like Will Greenwood a true rugby man.

[@helbenshcfam9064]

Liked the pat on Shane's tummy by the Aussie no 10 when he scored his try. A wonderful little moment of respect from his opponent right there.

[@SW-zt5mw]

Shane Williams little but mighty. Loved that being smaller than most it gave him agility and speed to nip through where others stood no chance. Loved watching him play.

[@stephenwilliams8128]

Even as an Englishman this fella could light up a wet cigarette, he was an absolute joy to watch, and up there with the best I've seen play the game!

[@oliverbale5908]

+Stephen Williams he didnt smoke

[@gareth1092]

+Oliver Bale you're a fucking idiot

[@Dr00pysp00n]

That's true to be honest

[@jackthomas2309]

Stephen Williams is the only man who is the best

[@davidwacko6623]

this guy is best in the world no doubt

[@jfrankland1991]

It says it all that Brian Moore shouting "he's there!" as he slips out of the tackle. One of the all time greats

[@b1gl3w86]

I was there and I'll admit I did tear up, thanks for the memory's Shane 👍

[@thedocta704]

it didnt matter that Wales lost after Shane went over the line , was great to see the ozzie team clapping for him at the end there too , i was nearly in tears myself

[@paulgoode5245]

Cwych ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HotstopKid_RugbyGameplays]

you were a great arsenal to the game of rugby, was always a key player to watch out for. He played his heart out every time I watched him play against the All Blacks. All respect to Welsh rugby and the fans. Respect From New Zealand

[@richardmartin8585]

as an Irishman thank you for all the memory's we love you for all you have done . you entertained and terrified our team for years but we are the better or it.

[@LisaMatthews8]

Cried watching this regardless how many times. Williams, absolute legend!

[@carltonks9923]

me too

[@LisaMatthews8]

Haha cheers Carl Tonks

[@MrArvins666]

need more players like him. especially with RWC coming up lol

[@davidwackko693]

think they let him score

[@cezagowz5838]

Same

[@patelpelat4658]

Only in Wales, full stadium and ZERO noise to listen to him ! RESPECT to this legend and giant of rugby ! New Zealand versus Wales during the world cup in Australia stays, in my eyes, one of the best match ever played at a world cup.

[@ElGamer7]

En France , on appelle ça un héros ... Ce type est une légende de ce sport et il le restera encore longtemps !

[@BigJonXD]

Just watching this after the 2019 grand slam. And still getting it in the feels

I've a lump in my throat and I'm not even Welsh 😂

[@daniel-jamesmacdonald344]

Im a Kiwi, but dude this person has definately earnt my respect for what hes done for welsh rugby im crying!!!

[@CyclesandThings]

I remember getting into rugby because I never thought short guys would’ve faired well, until of course, I watched this man. Thanks for all the memories, Shane.

[@MrShaundc]

as a proud welsh man i must say by far the best northern hemisphere player in a generation and welsh rugby is missing this legend thank you shane for showing that welsh rugby/ northern hemisphere rugby can match the southern teams

[@yesdcotchin]

BoD?

[@EnglishLad]

There are only 3 standout Southern Hemisphere teams. Australia, South Africa, and the All Blacks. All the Pacific Island teams like Fiji and Tonga couldn't hold a candle to any of the Six Nations teams. No disrespect intended, the only reason they're not up to the same standard is they're only small island nations so they don't have a huge population to choose from. They do have a lot of heart though and they'd still knock anyone of us normal people into next week...

[@walesrhondda]

SHANE WILLIAMS, A DISTINGUISHED MAN ! MADE IN WALES ! A very humbled man, a proper proud man, a loving Welsh man ! Hardly have I ever seen such a professional sportsman, being so honest ! x

[@levimead2275]

true legend in rugby sad to see him go

[@benimmortal5858]

him and o'driscoll for ireland, these two are some of my favourites in the english rugby sides.

Fantastic Shane bach, there will never be another 'Magic Daps' Shane Williams. The king of the sidestep. Little fella, massive heart. Cymru am byth!!!

[@erikdixon8464]

my god absolute class from the Aussies for staying there and giving him a hand showing respect. this is why rugby is like none other

[@sadwalk]

He is really a legend. Greets and respect from Germany !

[@TheDarrenguyuk]

shane williams wil always be one best welsh players in this gen we need another like shane

[@yoe91]

Shows you the invaluable wealth of a small nation there, small communities, the family, strong traditions, and a people that feels solidarity and feel together, all the weight of everything he is, crashing down on him on this final national duty day. In other larger European countries, people don't know who they are anymore and with the current times I can't imagine some present players feeling this much pride and emotion.

[@Stokie09123]

Gutted it wasn't a winner. England Fan.

[@CSFfry]

Real respect for this man, shows what sport is all about. Shouldn't be about money or being flash, his loyalties lie with Wales and with the game of Rugby and you have to love that. Just wish the England football team had even a fraction of the charisma Shane Williams has.

[@lamarkeda827]

The Man, The Myth ,The Legend. Shane Williams Thank you

[@siyanxuseka3364]

From a Northen Hemisphere Rugby Supporter, You were a legend to me bro I am a Bok fan but Wales is one of the nations that will win World cup one day just keep on playing a fanastic rugby

[@MrSimonson]

We will never see the likes again. He lit up my childhood on the gnoll and then into my adult life for ospreys and wales. Truly one of the if not the greatest we have ever produced.

[@nealsims1958]

Total Respect from everyone that is there . His fellow team mates , the Australian players , and everyone in the stadium , Welsh and Australian supporters . Respect can't be bought , it can only be given . Thank you Shane for all that you gave , the enjoyment and pride of watching you play .

[@yamiatemyugi]

I love how he flipped when he did the try it was so cool. He's the shortest person (I'm only 5ft have been since i was 10 and am now 17. Don't think I'll grow any more) on the Welsh ruby team and won the game for them and it was his last game to.

[@notmyrealname7738]

We didnt win unfortunatly, this was the 3rd place play offs. The real achievement i found for that WC was that we lost to France by 1 point fielding 14 men (captain being sent off within first 10 mins) for the match. All blacks beat france by 1 point with 15 men on field for the game.

[@nrjelley]

the 2011 World Cup haunts me to this day. Probably our best chance ever at actually winning the world cup. Played the best rugby in the whole competition and got conned out of the final!

No it wasn't.

Respect. My uncle Jim Renwick was small but a great player for Hawick and Scotland. Rugby is Wales and men like Shane.

[@Shepthebassman91]

A humble courageous and a great man! He might be small but he's got a heart as big as that stadium! Beautiful beautiful way to end a LEGENDARY career! Im american and i love welsh rugby! My dad's side has welsh blood and this man never quit and gave it 110% every time! What a player! Watching him during the anthem.....brought a tear and lump to my throat! Shane, thank you sir!

[@MrKent1111]

Elliot Steinwedell Welsh hearts and rugby go hand in hand mate it's in our blood this game you should visit Wales one day on match day (preferably against England our centuries old enemy) because the atmosphere around Wales that day is absolutely electric it's an immense feeling you would love the buzz

@@MrKent1111 that has been a dream of mine and i will see what you have just described so well for my own eyes! Thank you for comment!
