This is only the start, says Williams

NOBODY will be surprised that Martyn Williams’ tackle count at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday exceeded all others.

His teak-tough as teak 6ft 1in 15-stone frame knocked Ireland back on 14 occasions but it was just one of many telling contributions to a famous Welsh victory by the Cardiff Blues' number seven.

And when calm had been finally restored, Williams carried a proud mark of battle a huge bruise on the bridge of his badly broken nose.
