Welsh wizard Williams ‘gets back to reality’

Wales’ Twickenham hero Scott Williams says returning to training has brought him “back to reality”, and admits that his recollection of his match-winning score remains a blur.

With Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations contest with England evenly-poised at 12-12 with four minutes to play, Williams stole the ball from second-row Courtney Lawes on halfway and grubbered ahead before gathering the ball for the decisive touchdown.

The score has made the 21-year-old a national hero and his try is certain to go down in Welsh rugby folklore as it sealed Wales’ 20th Triple Crown.

Williams says his life has “been a bit hectic” since his heroics, but remains modest in describing his solo score.

“Ripping the ball is something we have been working on in training, you see it coming into the game more and more and obviously it also paid off.

“He (Lawes) was concentrating on getting tackled by Warburton and I came in and caught him by surprise. It was a bit of a blur after that, I don’t know why I kicked it. I think I did it because I was going to get tackled, and I just got a lucky bounce.”
