Liam Williams initiated one of the British and Irish Lions' greatest tries but the Wales star is now more focused on creating fresh memories by going on the attack against South Africa.

Williams is one of three starters in the team picked for Saturday's pre-tour showdown with Japan at Murrayfield who were present for the first Test in New Zealand four years ago.

While the tourists ultimately fell to a 30-15 defeat in Auckland, they also engineered one of the most electric moments in their history as Sean O'Brien finished a move that started deep inside their own 22.

Williams recalls it vividly, helped by its ubiquitous presence on social media.

A more pressing concern, however, is learning the moves that will be used across the nine fixtures that comprise the tour to South Africa.

"There's a whole new playbook. It will take us more than a couple of weeks to get that spot on," Williams said.

"I have been calling some of the calls we have with Wales, the Scottish boys have been calling some of their calls.

"It's exciting seeing a whole new playbook in team meetings, but to put that into practice it will take a couple of weeks.

"Every individual is completely different in how they learn. I could sit on a laptop for 10 hours a day and it just won't stick in so I need to be doing it on the training pitch."
