The Midfield Masterclass of Sonny Bill Williams

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!

Met him today. Prayed together. Awesome man

[Nyasalands_Finest]

Met this man at OR Tambo airport. He's a unit. Left me speechless. He was bigger than all of the forwards except Luaki.. Only other guy who had the same effect on me was Stirling Mortlock..

Unbelievable firepower back then. Carter, conrad, nonu, SBW ... no wonder no team could best them

[MijamiMarlitoRivera]

An awesome player and an awesome person. One of my favourite All Blacks.

[patrickchilds]

Fabulous player, I loved watching him play.

[jandreneethling]

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!!

I am a South African and watched a lot of rugby (60yrs old) NZ always had quality in the midfield. That's why they kicked our butts for a long time.

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.

[peterschuetz]

Extremely dangerous and skilled. One wonders why he wasn’t used more often by the ABs.

If its a while before you see a player who consistently does set plays as strong as him youll know sbw was in fact a decent player. But to me anyway he was a really good player to watch and the best at set plays in rugby in his generation

[lionelpardobutina]

What a alien player...It' s funny to see that the 2 best midfielders in the history of that sport has been at the same time and under the same colours: Sonny and Nonu

[greylynnjr]

Sucks to see this all black generation finish. Good video

[moekontze]

Sad to read a lot of haters here. Sonny walks the talk and talk the talk. Have any of you haters achieved anything like Sonny and help out your parents. I guess not. Just hot air on here and no pork.

Brut Force Elegance!!! My favoutite player - sleightly underrated in a way

[vinnymitchell]

Sbw
My fave all rounder for a million reasons

[lpulotu]

They put in a lot of hard work to get to that level of athleticism

[justinchetham-strode]

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.

My uncle used to play for france his brothers play for other teams as well but i was raised an all blacks fan back when richie was still captain ughhh the good days crazy enough i think richie knew my uncle paea

[kurosakiichigo]

cant believe he played along mounga, alb & goodhue in rwc19.
he deserved better inside & outside partner for himself.

[Mammoth_X]

SBW'S 13 test try was definitely his best test try
