Congratulations to Martyn Williams who is set to make his 50th Heineken Cup appearance against Perpignan and becomes only the 23rd player to win an ERC Elite 50 Cap.
Speaking of his achievement David Young, Cardiff Blues Director of Coaching said,
Throughout the lean years Martyn has always performed at the highest level and its a measure of his consistency and durability that he is the first Cardiff Blues player to reach 50 games in the Heineken Cup. It is a great honour for him and he is very deserving of it he is a true professional.
