Six years ago Shane Williams was preparing to put on a red shirt and play his last game for Wales facing Australia in the Autumn internationals. He finished his international career as Wales's highest try scorer of all time with 87 caps to his name, two grand slams, two Lions tours and the 2008 IRB World Player of the Year award. After finishing his professional career with a two-year stint in Japan, Shane came home to work out what to do with his life away from the game that had made him a legend. \n\nWith exclusive access and interviews this documentary follows Shane as he goes to work with his family firm, tries new sports and attempts to build a life without rugby. Although the more he tries to get away from the game the more it gradually pulls him back onto the pitch - even gifting him the chance for an unlikely last hurrah at the Millennium Stadium.\n\nShane: For the Love of the Game is a funny, warm, entertaining insight into a very Welsh icon, and a story of how for some people rugby is not just a sport but a way of life.
