Ashley Williams is relishing the start of Wales' Euro 2012 campaign which kicks-off in Montenegro tonight (6.30pm BST).

The defender is likely to start at the heart of the defence in Podgorica with John Toshack's side looking to get a positive start against the group's bottom seeds.

But Williams, who captained his country to victory against Scotland last November, acknowledges that the real work starts tonight and the Dragons will be in for a different test than what the friendlies have offered.

"It's the start of another campaign but the game will be totally different to the friendlies," said the 26-year-old, who is set to win his 22nd cap against one of the world's newest international teams.

"That's what I learnt last time - you can play all the friendlies you want but as soon as the campaign comes around every team means business.

"We need to start positive and on the back of the last game (the 5-1 win against Luxembourg) we'll be going in confident.

"I can't wait."

David Cotterill is the other Swansea City representative in the squad while no fewer than six players - David Cornell, Daniel Alfei, Neil Taylor, Jazz Richards, Joe Allen and Shaun MacDonald - are in the Under-21 squad for tomorrow's qualifier in Hungary.

Striker Shefki Kuqi, meanwhile, could feature for Finland in their game against Moldova tonight.
