The inside story on Warren Gatland’s five ‘strangest’ Lions call-ups

#1. Shane Williams (Wales) – 2013

There was no disputing Williams’ place in the Lions squad in 2005, with the Welsh legend equalling a record five tries in a single game against Manawatu as if to hammer that point home. However, by 2013 the wing was 36, playing his club rugby for the Mitsubishi Dynaboars in Japan and was, like Court, conveniently in Australia anyway to work for the tour as a radio commentator.

Nonetheless, he was drafted for three days to play a tour match against Brumbies, in which he was named on the starting lineup.
