New Zealand star Sonny Bill Williams has revealed that his two sons aspire to be Springboks rather than All Blacks. Williams made 12 appearances for the Kiwis during an illustrious 10-year career in rugby league before switching to rugby union where he earned 58 caps for the All Blacks and won two world cups. “Cape Town is my second home,” said Williams, according to the Ruck website. “Maybe one day my two boys might be playing in green and gold. They’ve told me that’s what they’d like. “They love the Springboks.” Williams, 36, and his South African wife, Alana Raffie, were married in 2013 and have four children.

Dear Chips...who can blame them with a father like Sonny...but that is life. Sonny must repent and become reborn... religion is useless , does not save anyone, faith in a God -given Messiah does.

Poor old Sonny....rather like Beeno wanting to become a Kiwi Bird.

Sonny was a great centre, a natural talent but over poisoned with the notion that he could box...yes he could but boxing is tougher than rugby, certainly to be the tops.

it sounds as if Williams children could qualify as SA citizens  due to the citizenship of the mother and Cape Town being his second home. as stated above.    That would be the determining factor.   Anyway -  who knows what will happen in their case - at this stage it is just a funny media  story.
