Shane Williams is warning the sporting tide 'could swing very heavily in favour of football' in Wales if Wayne Pivac's team bomb again in South Africa this summer and Gareth Bale fires his side to the World Cup.
Record try-scorer Shane spelt out his worries after a dismal Six Nations for Wales, which culminated in an embarrassing loss to Italy, and amid the continued woe for the four Welsh regions. By contrast, he feels there is a feelgood factor to Bale and the Wales football team at the moment as they stand on the brink of a first World Cup since 1958.
The draw for the Qatar finals was made on Friday and will pitch Wales against England, the USA and Iran in Group B if they can edge past Scotland or the Ukraine in a Cardiff City Stadium play-off final.
