WALES great Martyn Williams admits he may have played his last international game – two caps short of winning his 100th cap.

The openside flanker concedes the prospect of making his fourth World Cup is “a real long shot”.

The 35-year-old is due to play for the Barbarians against Wales at the Millennium Stadium next month.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland referred to the clash as a “trial match” for Williams who toured with the Lions in 2001, 2005 and 2009.

The Pontypridd-born star was first capped by Wales against the Baa-Baas 15 years ago when ‘Girl Power’ was all the rage as the Spice Girls topped the UK charts with Wannabe and John Major was clinging on to power in Downing Street.

Given such longevity and two Grand Slams to his name, Williams has expressed his surprise at Gatland’s opinion.

“If you are going to get judged on one game for the Barbarians after playing for the length of time I have, it does seem a bit strange,” he said.

“I’m not looking at it that way at all. I’m realistic. I know it’s a real long shot I’m going to go to the World Cup.

“I just want to enjoy the occasion. I’m not looking at it as a trial match in any way, shape or form.”

Williams hasn’t played for Wales since the New Zealand defeat in the autumn and was left out of Gatland’s Six Nations squad.

He has lost his place in the Wales pecking order with the emergence of his former understudy, Cardiff Blues teammate Sam Warburton.

The 22-year-old Warburton captains his country for the first time against the Barbarians on June 4 and the tussle between the two promises to be particularly interesting.

And although he says his Wales future looks to be over, it’s a case of never say never for the man teammates call Nugget.

“We’ll see,” he added. “There’s a lot to happen before now and then.

“If I don’t go, I don’t go. It’s out of my hands.

“I’ll just keep plugging away and I just can’t wait to play in this game.”
