He may not be the finished article, but Sonny Bill Williams will soon be an All Black, according to Marc Hinton on stuff.co.nz.
"Sonny Bill Williams will surely tour with the All Blacks at the end of next month. Even with those defensive foibles that stud his game.
"Anybody who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.Sure, he's still a long way from being the finished rugby product. On attack he's making great strides and it's no stretch to say his offload game is as good as anybody's running around. But defensively he's as wooden as Pinocchio and his instincts are as badly lacking as his positioning.
"To cough up two tries the way he did at the weekend when fielding ball on the deck would also have raised a few alarm bells. Granted, he wasn't done any favours by the conditions, but to twice squirt ball out the back that grateful Taranaki opportunists were able to pounce on was an unforgiveable sin."
