Shane Williams insists that his upcoming international retirement has come at the right time.

Wales winger Shane Williams has insisted that next Saturday is the right time to retire from international rugby.

The country's all-time leading try scorer will bring down the curtain on an esteemed international career against Australia at the Millennium Stadium on December 3.

"We are very lucky to have a lot of youngsters coming through who are capable of playing at international level," said the 34-year-old.

"The closer it gets to the day the more sad I will be, but as far as I am concerned it will be the right time."

Williams has won 86 caps since his Wales debut in 2000.
