Sonny Bill Williams Takes On Scott Robertson

“The Springboks are leading the way because they understand it’s a 23-man game. I don’t think we’re there yet. That’s a criticism of the coaches, we haven’t adopted the 23-man mentality yet.“, Sonny Bill Williams said on Stan Sport. The former center continued by also saying: “When was the last time we saw a Boks prop leave the field or still be on the field in the 72nd minute?“Sonny Bill Williams also criticised the lack of rotation in the Blacks, drawing parallels with the rotation in the Springboks.”South Africa, in that first Test, played unbelievably. Some of those players who were arguably the best on the field didn’t play the following week. There’s total confidence there in the whole squad.” he breathes, visibly very angry with Scott Robertson.
