From cocky sports star to selfless activist.

Sonny Bill Williams continues to undergo a miraculous transformation from arrogant league star to human rights activist.

Only a few years ago Williams was being called a disloyal mercenary for his decision to switch codes and squads in search of the biggest pay cheque, now he is meeting refugees in Lebanon and raising awareness of the plight of those who have almost nothing.

The sporting superstar has undergone an undeniable transition in recent months to become a man of the people.

His journey into people's hearts was kick started with an offer to give away his tickets to this year's Rugby World Cup semifinal to Syrian refugees.
