Duncan Williams: 'The perception out there was that I was useless'

Duncan Williams is an experienced, highly-regarded rugby player. But he hasn’t always seen it that way.

The scrum-half has had to display huge strength of character to overcome numerous hurdles of varying kinds to remain an integral part of the Munster squad at the age of 31.

He was capped for Ireland Schools and Under-21s during a massively promising underage career before joining the Munster Academy on his first year out of CBC, gaining promotion to the senior squad in 2010 where he will remain until at least June 2019. As always, though, the competition for the coveted number nine jersey remains as fierce as ever, something with which Duncan is very familiar.
