Former Springboks coach Jake White tells Duncan Johnstone of the Dominion Post that he believes Sonny Bill Williams will start his World Cup campaign for the All Blacks on the bench.
"World Cup winning coach Jake White is a big fan of Sonny Bill Williams but doesn't believe he will be able to break into the All Blacks starting side when it matters most.
White predicts an impact role for Williams behind the proven midfield combination of Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith.
White used his personal website to pass comment on Williams' game and influence on rugby since successfully switching from league.
"Sonny Bill is a sensation, which is great for rugby. The more people talk about him, the more people watch the game and that's great for the sport globally," White said in a question and answer session on the internet."
