Just to give people that don't know much about Sonny Bills league career an idea of how good he is, one of the all time greats of Australian Rugby league Laurie Daley said he was the best young player he'd ever seen and that he would probably go down as the best Rugby League player ever. He said this a week before he was to debut for the Bulldogs as an 18 (or was it 17 lol) year old.
Managed to see SBW at Twickenham couple of months ago, Canterbury vs Sharks. SBW lines up their number 8 and left shoulder charges him. A minute later, SBW lines up their wing but the wing steps him off and standing right behind him was big Owen Franks who copped it full on. Franks drops to one knee and SBW mumbles an apology then runs off to chase the play. Bloody Funny.
SBW is still a work in progress. The polished product is yet to come. Will be good to see how he goes against the Aussie & Saffer backlines in Super rugby.
@mattrudd14 SBW is samoan/new zealand thats why his skin colour is light i would know because he got his pe'a(samoan tribal tattoo) by the great steve maching(samoan/chinese)
One of the great big ball playing men of all time - he needs to get some length of stay - but he is a true legend - I dont give a fuck who you are - this man is one of the greatest athletes alive today....wish everyone didnt put all the shit on him, he's allowed to make mistakes you know - he's human just like the rest of us...but I'd pick him in my all time NRL team. Go SBW keep on keepin on mate..
@TheRadFactor How do you know ! the tip of the ball didn't touch the blade of grass inside the in goal area ? ... HOW DO YOU KNOW ?, HOW ?. Did you see it from another angle ?
as a wallabies supporter I am seriously worried as SBW is starting to really hit his straps running off Carter. Its great to see him open running in Rugby then doing dumb hit ups in League. making breaks without having 10 metres (as in League) to work off every time is the sign of a good player!! He will be one of the great All Blacks if he keeps his head in it!
@h7p10 Mate, look carefully. 3:08 The ball hit the touchline (inside the try zone) after hitting the post. This would have been ruled out even in League.
I did not even expect an offload at 1:43. My eyes were waiting for the next clip and then bang! Amazing!
Sonny Bill Williams is one of my favourite players 2 watch...... I havnt seen a good centre with speed and strenght in a long time......
love it when he slips umagas tackle!!!!
he is like a monster that can not be stopped
so big. that handoff is the biggest sit-down this year!
best hand off in rugby...SBW...you the man!!!
amazing player, his offloads are just superb, and so are his running skills
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE HERO! A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL RUGBY PLAYERS
pure rugby gold he is
The hand off at 1:20 is amazing!!! What!!!
Great vid mate!
i watch this twice a day...
I play american football.... still got a ton of respect for this guy although I havent ever tried playing rugby
My opinion, the best athlete to ever come out of NZ, As a leaguie, wish he was back playing league though.
The hand off at 2:18 is epic. Proper pie face.
I think it's the most amazing player I've ever seen
always has the best and most technical offloads
if there has ever been a person built to play rugby.....this guy is that person!

Thanks
3.34 - 3.47 is rugby masterclass.
This guy is amzing at handing off... great video :D
Sonny = BEAST!
Incroyable ce joueur, quand je pense que c'est chez nous, à Toulon qu'il à été formé pour le rugby à XV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uN PHYSIQUE et une vision/coordination d exception!!!
thumps up for sonny bill!!
He should of been the centre of this decade after BOD and still could be!
That offload is crazy, can't wait to see him tear it up in the world cup.
bringing massive hits from the rugby league to Union, atta boy SBW!
Sonny Bill and Jamie Roberts of wales would make an unstoppable pair of centers
his offloads are amazing
That ref took that ball like a boss!

a real star!
Never seen a more complete rugby player.
What a Hero
Fast forward and SBW goes home with 2 x RWC championships for the All Blacks in 2011 & 2015
SBW is still a work in progress. The polished product is yet to come. Will be good to see how he goes against the Aussie & Saffer backlines in Super rugby.
awesome
Dude epic video! What about at 3:10 where umaga fails to stop him. Cheers for the upload
Always be yourself, Unless you can be Sonny Bill, Always be Sonny Bill!
1 word...Beast
I Love You SBW
2:17 that fend! My GOD!
He must have been homesick, playing for canterbury hahah
him and Fruean were unreal together
@Gavbro0 I was at that game. It was the best, highest standard, most entertaining match I have ever seen.
sonny bill is MACHINE. wait till he plays league again bra
the best
Handoff at 1:18 is EPIC
@mattrudd14 SBW is samoan/new zealand thats why his skin colour is light i would know because he got his pe'a(samoan tribal tattoo) by the great steve maching(samoan/chinese)
am i the only one that wanted to go play a match of rugby after watching this?
Excellent video! 1:14 if all else fails, loose forward for SBW?

Go SBW keep on keepin on mate..
2:18 - OWNED!!

that handoff was the shit 1.18
sonny da man..
2:18 pure brilliance
definately gonna be one of the best players in the world, if he already isn't
Any body please tell me when did Sonny started using proteins??? It's VERY important to me and please answer if you know!! THanks!!!
1:51 just the casual fend off a prop
THE ONLY ONE
Big Artie,Freddy aww Sonny Bill
Love the look on Sonny's face at 1:32 its just like "You really want to start shit with me?"
@mesmiths He's not on the squad?
@TheRadFactor How do you know ! the tip of the ball didn't touch the blade of grass inside the in goal area ? ... HOW DO YOU KNOW ?, HOW ?. Did you see it from another angle ?
Just proves that Canterbury rugby is the best in New Zealand. They even have the Canterbury Clothing Company, CCC.
What's the song called
what dis song called?
@UHtiger is he definitely going back to league in 2013?
whats the first song?
SONG PLEASEEE????:)
@romanator90210 wrong! but they do have a great partnership, I'd say probably one of the best!
yo bro wuts the name of tha song???1
It paused to load at 1:20 - STIFF ARM! Nice SBW!
@als20syd
NO! New Zealand secondary school systems produced this star, Canterbury just signed him!
@kananook12 yep!!
Bro swt asss vid.. couldn't hold bac the smile haha classic kiwi remark at the end. SBW doubters they will be munchin down their words!!
@mrruddzy
I agree, Benji is the best leauge player ever - Sonny will go down as one of the best second rowers to play the game
2:18 was epic
1:19!!! Wow! Beast lol
Never carry the ball in one hand ... Unless you're Sonny Bill !!:)
One of the benefits of coming from league, union players don't wrap up high and so he is able to offload more easily than he could in the other code.
@kuruki213 No love for Nonu?
Make one for Robbie Fruean
SBW is a fucking beast ! && this vid is sick.
Fights Gallen!
as a wallabies supporter I am seriously worried as SBW is starting to really hit his straps running off Carter.

He will be one of the great All Blacks if he keeps his head in it!
it helps that he's got a centre like Robby Fruen outside him, who will catch those offloads all day long.
Tana Umaga OWNED at 3.15
2:18 lol...poor that guy..
One in a generation player !!! the walking headliner SBW shot uce !!
3:03 would've been a try if it were League rule's ..... but this is Union and he hit the post lol
@h7p10 Mate, look carefully. 3:08 The ball hit the touchline (inside the try zone) after hitting the post. This would have been ruled out even in League.
1:20.... holy shit
uhhh is that tana umaga failing to tackle him at 3:10??
@mrantweb143
Couldn't agree more! : )
2:17 haha smashed.
next AB's outside center?
