Shane Williams: Wales' Golden Era, Lions...

The Overlap
About this episode

Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, is back as Lawrence Dallaglio, Tom Shanklin, Scott Quinell and Red Roses legend Nolli Waterman are joined by Welsh rugby legend Shane Williams.


From being told he was too small for rugby to becoming World Player of the Year, Shane opens up on his remarkable journey through the highs and lows of Welsh rugby. He reveals the truth about his bust-up with Warren Gatland, what it was really like during Wales’ golden era, and how he ended up coming out of retirement for the Lions! 🦁


The group also dive into Shane’s debut against New Zealand, the pressure of international rugby, and why beating England always meant so much. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿


With just two days until the Red Roses launch their World Cup campaign, we look at what success will looks like for England and Nolli tells how pressure has such a big affect on players, no matter how good they are! 🌹


🔥 A mix of brutal honesty, behind-the-scenes stories, and iconic rugby moments you won’t want to miss.
