Shane Williams disappointed Gatland didn't use the player Wales 'were crying out for'

Shane Williams believes Keiran Williams can offer Wales something different if Warren Gatland gives him a chance ahead of this year's World Cup.

The uncapped Ospreys centre was part of Gatland's squad for the Six Nations, in which Wales finished fifth with just one win to their name, but the 25-year-old didn't feature at all throughout the tournament. Having not been included in the matchday 23 for the opening matches against Ireland, Scotland and England, injury on duty for the Ospreys ruled him out of the remaining clashes with Italy and France.

However, after a tough tournament for Gatland and his side, Wales' best midfield combination is still up in the air. Joe Hawkins and George North started the tournament together, before Cardiff youngster Mason Grady was brought in alongside Hawkins. The campaign then ended with North partnering Nick Tompkins.
