Having made the 決定／判定勝ち（する） to step 負かす／撃墜する from the international game Williams will now turn his 焦点（を合わせる） 単独で to the Ospreys, the 地域 he has played for since their inception in 2003.

Williams has 以前 明言する／公表するd his 願望（する） to remain as part of the Ospreys 始める，決める-up after he decides to hang up his boots for good, but is still 重さを計るing up whether to 延長する his playing career beyond 2013.

Williams' 現在の Ospreys 取引，協定 happens to end just before the British and Irish Lions 小旅行する Australia, but the three-４半期/4分の1 believes making a third 小旅行する would be 'a step too far' and cannot see himself に引き続いて the example of the likes of Neil 支援する and Lawrence Dallaglio, who made themselves 利用できる for the 2005 trip to New Zealand にもかかわらず having stood 負かす／撃墜する from England 義務.

'I certainly enjoyed my Lions 小旅行するs and I would love to think I would be playing good enough rugby in 2013 but I think it would be a step too far. I think some people would not be too happy if I started playing for the Lions in 2013 having not played for むちの跡s,' he said.

'It is a fantastic experience and I will be definitely be over there enjoying myself and doing something in other regards but that is a long time away I 疑問 it very much (that I will be there playing) to be honest with you.'
