- The Scarlets picked him up when he was 20 years old, initially developing Williams at Llanelli RFC
- The 2017 British & Irish Lions tour saw Liam Williams start all three Tests at full-back against New Zealand
- He refers to himself on social media as a ‘professional bomb defuser’ for his aerial ability
