WATCH: Sonny Bill Williams' crushing hit in Sevens game should be a crime against humanity

Good grief this looks painful.

Sonny Bill Williams is aiming to win gold at this autumn's Olympics games with New Zealand. The former boxer, and man mountain, is currently lining out for his country's Sevens side, and is waging a one-man war on humankind in the process. The World Cup winner is one of the most powerful players on the planet, and seeing him crush opponents with monstrous tackles almost seems unfair. New Zealand faced Russia in London today, and a man who probably woke up thinking he was back in Moscow was cut down ruthlessly by SBW with a perfectly legal tackle. https://twitter.com/RugbyWorldCupFR/status/734028597304909824 He also had time after the 33-10 win to get a picture taken with Belfast's Carl Frampton. https://twitter.com/GBraidley/status/733975733345918976
