Wales rugby legend Shane Williams has spoken candidly about his difficulties coming to terms with life after rugby over the past seven years, admitting he has been "petrified" at times.
Williams admits he has experienced loneliness and self-doubt, questioning his own relevance in life after the game he dedicated everything to was gone.
Speaking in a searingly honest Rugby Pod podcast interview with former Scotland international Jim Hamilton, Williams says he felt like "a spare part" in his family life and feared his lack of skills outside of rugby would make things difficult.
