I made my debut for Wales 12 years ago and it feels the same everytime you put it on [Welsh shirt], there&#8217;s that little extra representing your country but it&#8217;s fantastic to be able to do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It is a different game [to singles] but I&#8217;ve about 50 caps for Wales so I&#8217;ve done it before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve played lots of pairs tournaments but not at international level so that&#8217;ll be new.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Wales also won the World Cup in 2020 with Price and former plasterer Clayton &#8211; who won the Masters, World Grand Prix and World Series Finals in 2021, but has not won an individual title since May 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Jonny&#8217;s awesome, I&#8217;ve probably known him twenty years, we get on great, a really nice guy. He&#8217;s very similar to me I think, so it shouldn&#8217;t be a problem,&#8221; said Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Jonny will be fine, he&#8217;s won it twice. It&#8217;s different for me, it&#8217;s my debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;He&#8217;s been playing well the last few months to be fair to him, he&#8217;s had a bit of a tough time and sometimes darts isn&#8217;t your main priority but he is genuinely a world class player and he can turn it on at anytime. I have no worry about what he&#8217;s going to do, it&#8217;s more how I&#8217;m going to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Williams expects vocal support from Welsh fans in the venue in Frankfurt and wants to make up for Wales&#8217; absence in Germany for the European Football Championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;At least we are in it,&#8221; added Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But we&#8217;ll give it a good show. It&#8217;s a pity about the football, hopefully we&#8217;re a bit better at darts than at football&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/darts\/articles\/ce558ld78zeo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Williams has represented Wales before, under the rival World Darts Federation [WDF] governing body but says teaming up with world number 10 Clayton in the PDC World Cup will be one of his proudest achievements. &#8220;It&#8217;s massive.
