Williams was one of only two Welshmen selected for the Lions this year along with forward Jac Morgan.<\/p>\n
He said the experience of his first tour was “pretty surreal”.<\/p>\n
“I don’t mean to sound disrespectful to my teams, but the quality around you, there’s world-class players everywhere,” he said. <\/p>\n
“Boys just make jobs easier for boys around them – the training standard and the skill level in training was pretty decent. <\/p>\n
“That was kind of cool to be a part of.”<\/p>\n
With a new responsibility at club level this season, Williams said he hopes the time he spent in the Lions set-up will add more to his game when he returns to the pitch.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot of voices in those kind of environments, but a lot of good voices as well. If I think back I’m pretty sure I could take a few pointers from a lot of the boys,” he added.<\/p>\n
Williams takes over the captain’s armband at Gloucester from Lewis Ludlow, who held it for the past five seasons. <\/p>\n
Director of rugby George Skivington took Williams for dinner to ask him to take on the role which he said was an “easy decision” and a “real honour”.<\/p>\n
“I couldn’t say no to that. I don’t think it’s anything you can turn down,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
