Shoot!’s ultimate Republic of Ireland-Wales six-a-side team

Ashley Williams

Both nations have very adept defenders, but none trump Wales and Everton centre-half Ashley Williams.

The 32-year-old starred in their incredible run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, and earned himself a big move to Goodison Park last summer after impressing for both club and country, with it clear how much former side Swansea have missed him this term based on their awful defensive record.

A commanding figure at the back who is aerially dominant but also good with the ball at his feet, Williams easily makes this team.
