Williams could be fit to face England

WALES’ record international try-scorer Shane Williams could be fit for the RBS 6 Nations opener against England in Cardiff on February 4.

The Ospreys wing has been sidelined since dislocating his shoulder during Wales’ home loss to world champions South Africa last month.

He subsequently underwent surgery and was ruled out for an initial period of 10-12 weeks, suggesting he would struggle to make both the England game and Wales’ Murrayfield appointment with Scotland eight days later.
