How Jeremy Williams caught himself by surprise after epic sideline Wallabies try

Wallabies second-rower Jeremy Williams has reflected on his try-scoring heroics after his superb effort in the corner against England.

Williams defied his size and position as he somehow dived over the covering defenders and planted the ball in the corner.

A plethora of replays from the TMO eventually cleared the effort, with mere centimetres between Williams’ foot and the touchline.

The finish was fitting of Williams wearing #5 in rugby league rather than union as the 198cm, 113kg lock was left impressed by his own efforts.

“Pretty unexpected. I don’t think I’ve ever done that kind of dive before,” Williams said to reporters.

“It was pretty awesome to be able to get the five points.

“I was more worried about my hip at the time and then figured out they were reviewing the try, but we were in a huddle trying to focus on our next job and that was a kick-off, so I was just going to let the refs handle all that.”

Williams and the Wallabies were quick to park the result and turn their focus to Wales on Monday (AEDT) in Cardiff.

“You celebrate the win after the game and then your preparation starts straight after the game for the next week ahead,” he explained.

“…When you’re in the changing room after the (win), you allow yourself to celebrate the win, the performance of the team and the whole training week but then just in the back of your mind, you’ve got to be thinking about your next job and the test match coming up against Wales, which is going to be a really good battle.”

The Wallabies know what to expect from Wales after their two tough wins in July.

The Welsh last tasted victory over a year ago against the Wallabies in Lyon, with centre Len Ikitau well aware the 11th ranked side are a different beast at home.

“They were tough games the two we had in Australia,” Ikitau notes.

“They got some fast backs with silky s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s. I was here last year playing for the Barbarians and they smoked us. It was just a tough game and they’re always going to be tough, especially at home.

“It’s going to be a good crowd and everyone’s going to be ready to go.”
