Chris Rattue can't tear his eyes away from the 'Sonny Bill Show' as the former Toulon centre gears up for his Canterbury bow in The New Zealand Herald.
"The Sonny Bill Williams show should kick off in earnest this week and this unique rugby extravaganza continues to gather pace.
"Canterbury play Tasman in Nelson on Saturday afternoon - the early bets will be on Williams making an appearance in the second half. Williams got the royal treatment from the Sky commentators on Friday night, even though he didn't actually appear for Canterbury against North Harbour because of a "tight hamstring".
"Unavailable yes, but certainly not forgotten. Not since "Bring Back Buck" entered the language has an absent friend been so present. Williams won frequent mentions in association with the blockbusting Canterbury centre Robbie Fruean who was actually playing, and playing rather well."
