[1] He won four caps for Wales between 1905 and 1906[1] and most notably was a member of the winning Welsh team in the famous Match of the Century against the original All Blacks.

Of all the Welsh players who played in the 1905 Match of the Century "Champions of the World" team, Williams is the most enigmatic.

He was chosen for the 1905 All Blacks game and he proved an excellent choice working well with Harding and Hodges to back up Dai Jones in the pack and line out.

Williams died the next year, at the age of 28, after contracting blackwater fever in Nigeria while on Colonial Service.
