Injured midfielder Sonny Bill Williams has received a notable endorsement from the All Blacks Coach, Steve Hansen as he works through a tight race against time to prove his readiness for the World Cup.
Williams has not played any rugby since injuring his knee playing for the Blues against the Stormers at the end of March. Since then the 33‑year‑old has had a minor surgical procedure and has been working back to game readiness.
Hansen confirmed at a media standup during a "foundation day" in Auckland that Williams was one of a number of injured internationals due back soon.
Meanwhile in the Super Rugby Competition this Friday, the Chiefs meet the Reds at 7.35pm and the Brumbies face the Bulls at 9.45pm.
On Saturday, the Sunwolves meet the Rebels at 5.15pm, the Crusaders take on the Blues at 7.35pm while the Waratahs meet the Jaguares at 9.45pm.
On Sunday, the Stormers will take on the Highlanders at 1.05am and the Sharks meet the Lions at 3.15am.
