Talk about irony. He is one of the greatest All Blacks players of all time. Now, his son wants to be a Bok.
All Blacks legend Sonny Bill Williams’ sons want to play for the Springboks.
He met his wife in South Africa and views Cape Town as his second home. Now, both his boys are aspiring to play for the Boks in the future.
ALL BLACKS LEGENDS SONS WANT TO PLAY FOR THE BOKS
Former New Zealand rugby centre, Williams hinted at his boys playing for the Springboks in the future.
“Maybe one day my two boys might be playing in Green and Gold,” Williams told Ruck.
Additionally, both of his boys have told Williams that they want to play for the Boks in the future.
“They’ve told me that’s what they’d like,” he said
“They love the Springboks,” he added.
FROM NZ TO SA AND SA TO NZ – A UNIQUE FUTURE AWAITS
Firstly, this SA-born star is in line to play for the All Blacks.
More recently, a top New Zealand international expressed interest in playing for the Springboks in the future. Then, as mentioned, Williams’ boys have visions to play for the Springboks.
Growing up in South Africa, it was unheard of and a sacred unspoken rule to never mention wanting to play for the age-old mighty rivals, the All Blacks. Likewise, a young boy in New Zealand shant dare speak of playing for the Boks.
However, times have changed and we could very well see SA-born All Blacks (sooner than you think) and NZ-born Springboks in the near future.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL PROSPECT OF NZ-BORN PLAYERS PLAYING FOR THE SPRINGBOKS OR SA-BORN STARS PLAYING FOR THE ALL BLACKS IN THE FUTURE?
