Sonny Bill Williams - Midfield Maestro

Sonny Bill Williams will be remembered as one of the most creative and destructive midfielders to ever play for the All Blacks. He had amazing hands and an eye for the gap. Unfortunately he had to battle with Ma'a Nonu for the All Blacks' no. 12 jersey. If it wasn't for Nonu's brilliance, Williams would have dominated the position.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

I tend not to remember his tries.. What remains vivid in my mind from his skills was his ability to pinpoint a dwarf in the misty mountains somewhere which always led to a try.. That ability of his is what really pissed me off as an opposition supporter.. Most of his tries came on a plate but his offloading antics and finding ghosts to score tries was frustrating.. Nuff respect!!

SBW was a legend. Probably was not shown enough respect by many AB fans because he dared to dream beyond the AB’s in a beautiful country but where AB’s is the end all and it is a sin to dream beyond the AB’s. In time, he might be recognised as NZ’s greatest SPORTSMAN.

@justinchetham-strode5234 9 ай бұрын

This phenomenal player seems to have been underrated outside New Zealand - I can't think why, he could do everything, and read the game well. I'm an enormous fan of Ma'a Nonu, but I can't separate the two in terms of quality; Nonu perhaps slightly the more dangerous running at the opposition, Williams slightly better at offloading the ball. Two superstars who played in one of the best XVs ever.

@javo4031 8 ай бұрын

The thing is about Nono And SBW is that Nonu started off as a crash ball centre, then later on in his career he developed his all around skills to become arguably the greatest inside centre the all blacks ever had.

Fully agree. Overrated at best, offered absolutely nothing. Players were offloading way before him, the slowest back to ever play international rugby. So big yet never ever dented the line and always got ran around on defense. Belongs in same class of abs as cane,offa, karl.

SBW is not amongst the greatest AB’s but he was an AB nonetheless - Let’s not take that away from him! He is arguably NZ’s greatest ever Sportsman - He has a very strong case!! I think people never got over his young days when he made a few mistakes especially with his league contract etc. He matured into a humble, determined man who won a Rugby WC, Grand Final in NRL and also a Heavyweight Boxer too. Wow!!😮

LOL Which he craved? There's so many insecure and jealous fools like you who read hateful news articles and form sheep opinions based on lies. SBW is such a humble and hardworking athlete and has accomplished what you and your bloodline could only dream of. His success, wealth and health makes you feel so small that you try to bring him down to your pitiful pathetic level. Imagine if you won awards for being an insecure and jealous hater... Maybe you'd have as many as SBW lol
