The New Zealand Herald's Chris Rattue provides his view on the ongoing Sonny Bill Williams saga.
"The All Blacks are crazy if they shut the door on Sonny Bill Williams should he choose to play rugby overseas.
The apparent shift in public opinion against Williams is staggering considering the magical effect he has had on the game, not to mention that Blind Freddy could see what New Zealand was getting.
Empowered by his aggressive management and stablemates, and through surviving the Bulldogs scandal quite nicely, he can be a law unto himself."
