Williams, 2008 RBS 6 Nations player of the tournament, scored two brilliant tries as Ospreys crushed semi-final opponents Saracens 30-3 at the Millennium Stadium.

Jones said: "Shane is world-class. Shaun Edwards [Wales defence coach] calls him a predator, which is a perfect description. When Shane gets just half-a-chance, he jumps on it."

Jones, Williams and several of their fellow Grand Slam stars made a victorious Millennium Stadium return as the Ospreys booked their second successive EDF final appearance against English heavyweights Leicester.

Ospreys coach Lyn Jones added: "We wanted to gel the boys back in after the Six Nations campaign, and that was a success.

"We need to push on to the next step now. We lost to Leicester by the narrowest of margins last season, and we have grown from that."

Saracens rugby director Alan Gaffney had no complaints about the Ospreys' emphatic success, with his team restricted to a solitary Glen Jackson penalty.

Gaffney said: "We didn't need luck - we needed about five extra players on the pitch!

"They are a classy team, and we've not experienced such a hammering since I have been at Saracens.

"This will be a huge learning curve for us. Ospreys' pressure was very good, and it put us under the hammer."
