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

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..

Yeah it's jaw dropping performance no wonder they helping the wall All going to plan I see

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

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!!

LEGEND HES A GOAT....

Great athlete

Beautiful and artful player

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.

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

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

The man 😎

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

Absoltely a game breaker

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

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

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

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.

Wrong, not well infront of the kicker.. both his legs are actually slightly behind where Kahui makes contact with the ball which is onside. You can be in line with the kicker but not have your feet/legs infront of the where the kick is contacted which Sonny wasn't. He timed that to perfection.

“Midfield maestro” yet half of his highlights are him scoring the rugby equivalent of a tap-in goal in football. High overrated and was a much better league than union player. Never deserved to be an All Black realistically

He won't be remembered as one of the great All Blacks, not even close to the best, just got more publicity, which he craved.

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.
