Williams: I thought my Wales career was over

World Cup hero Shane Williams will make his first appearance for Wales in Cardiff in more than two years tomorrow, admitting he feared he would never play for his country again.

The 26-year-old was dispatched to the international wilderness after his last game at the Millennium Stadium in October 2001 when he was part of a Welsh team that slumped to a humiliating 36-6 defeat by Ireland.
