Rugby players in Wales' non-league WRU Division 3 West will face a formidable opponent this year if Wales rugby legend Shane Williams is to be believed.

Williams wrote that former World's Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski has signed for Amman United RFC for the upcoming season.

A tweet from the former Wales winger hinted the former strongman, who claimed the World's Strongest Man title on five separate occasions between 2002 and 2008, has joined the side and will bring his massive six-foot-one, 300lb frame into the team for 2013.

Pudzianowski is a household name in his native Poland, where he claimed a plethora of strongman titles at European and world level before transitioning to the sport of mixed martial arts, where he won five out of his eight professional contests.

But now it seems he has changed sports once more as he looks set to line up for the amateur side for the coming season.

We're not sure how much rugby experience "Pudz" has, but given his size and strength, we'd expect him to add some serious grunt to the Amman front row this year.

The club's Twitter account told excited and curious followers that the reports are true but there has been no comment from Pudzianowski.
