Welsh record try-scorer Williams will once again bid farewell to the Millennium Stadium in his final professional match before hanging up his boots.

Williams ended his Wales career in spectacular fashion last December, as he scored a last minute try in the slender 24-18 loss to Australia. But he will have one final swansong at the home of Welsh rugby.

Centurion Stephen Jones has also been included in a strong Baa-Baas squad. The Wasps-bound fly-half was left out of Wales’ 38-man training squad yesterday as the management focus on the future.

Ospreys prop Duncan Jones completes a trio of Welshmen in the squad and could make his first Millennium Stadium appearance since 2009.

Martyn Williams is also set to win his 100th Wales cap against his former international team-mates.

The famous invitational club boast the likes of Isa Nacewa, Mils Muliaina, Cedric Heymans, Stephen Donald and John Smit in their star-studded squad.

The Baa-Baas face England and Ireland ahead of the June 2, clash with Rob Howley’s Wales.
