The New Zealand Herald's Duncan Johnstone provides his take on Sonny Bill Williams starting on the wing for the All Blacks.
"The All Black theory to play Sonny Bill Williams on the wing against Argentina is that he's so dangerous when he gets the ball that the Pumas won't kick it to him.
I'm not so sure about that. In fact I'm pretty sure Williams will get a serious examination under the high ball at Eden Park on Sunday night.
I suspect the Pumas might see Williams as a weakness rather than a strength as he operates in relative isolation out on the wing.
They will want to see how quickly the big man can turn and chase and, of course, they will want to see how safe he is with an aerial bombardment raining down on him."
