Wales legend Shane Williams has selected a dream back-three of the best players he played with or against during his incredible career.
Winger: Bryan Habana (South Africa)
Williams said: “My first choice– I had some great battles with Bryan in my time. He’s won Rugby World Cup’s, player of the year, try of the year…everything there is to win.”
Winger: Joe Rokocoko (New Zealand)
Williams said: “I could realistically choose any New Zealand winger from the last 10 years, but I’d go with Joe. Scored against Wales a number of times, so much pace, and a very good finisher,”
Fullback: Lee Byrne (Wales/Lions)
Williams said: “Best full back, played with him at Ospreys, Wales, Lions. An underrated player. I still can’t believe he wasn’t mentioned as the best player during the 2009 Lions tour,”

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
