Liam Williams targets perfect Pro12 fairytale

Without silverware since 2004, Wayne Pivac’s Scarlets face Munster in the Guinness PRO12 final this afternoon with the aim of not only ending a 13-year wait for a trophy, but also giving Welsh regional rugby a much-needed shot in the arm.

A victory for the Parc y Scarlets outfit — who go into this game as underdogs — would be hard to measure in terms of the impact it would have on the game in Wales.

Simply put, challenging the Irish giants for domestic title glory has looked a long way off for Welsh sides in recent seasons, with only Ospreys and Scarlets looking anywhere near capable of ruffling some feathers at the summit.
