Williams relives the agony of that historic penalty shoot-out miss, recounting an incredible story of belief, hope and heartbreak as he sits down with Martyn Hindley to talk about his love for the Heineken Champions Cup, his biggest regrets and putting Cardiff on the map.

Speaking exclusively on the Champions Rugby Show, the 44-year-old said: “Obviously I was disappointed with the missed kick but we were equally disappointed because we really thought it was going to be our year.

“We’d beat Toulouse at home and had done everything in the pool stages to get us a home quarter-final and semi-final.

“When I look back, obviously missing the kick was a big thing but Leicester were a very streetwise team and I don’t think we played as well as we could have in that semi-final and I think that’s the most frustrating thing.

“Everything was in our favour really. We had a full strength squad, playing in the Milennium Stadium but we just didn’t quite play to our potential.”
