A player of Liam’s quality will undoubtedly attract offers from some of the biggest clubs around with Toulon reportedly interested in his services.
But I think we should pull out all the stops to bring him back to Welsh rugby. We desperately need more players of his quality playing at the four Welsh regions.
The talk here in Wales is that the Ospreys are leading the chase for his signature but I’m sure the other three regions will be interested as well. If he does sign for the Ospreys then they would have one of the most exciting back-lines in European rugby.
He is one of the most decorated backs in world rugby having won the English Premiership, Champions Cup and the Six Nations Grand Slam last season along with performing well in a strong Wales World Cup campaign.
Unfortunately, Liam’s dream of lifting the Webb Ellis Cup was ruined by injury, but in-coming Wales coach Wayne Pivac and his assistant Stephen Jones can help his game go to another level. I was over the moon when Stephen was announced as Rob Howley’s replacement because he is a real student of the game and one of the most intelligent players I played with or against.
Liam is good enough as it is, but playing under Pivac and Jones could see him let loose from an attacking perspective on the international stage and I for one can’t wait.
The thought of Williams playing in an Ospreys back-line which contains the likes of George North, Owen Watkin, Scott Williams and Gareth Anscombe is mouthwatering. I played in some great Ospreys backlines with star players such as Mike Phillips, James Hook, Lee Byrne and Tommy Bowe but the above set of backs could easily rival them.
