WATCH: Sonny Bill Williams’ sister shows lightning reflexes to set up sweet Sevens try

She didn’t lick it off a stone.

The Williams family are one of those annoying clans whom you suspect excel at everything.

Already they have a Rugby World Cup winning son, who dabbles in boxing, and is also lining up to feature at this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio.

Sonny Bill may take all the headlines, but it seems his sister Niall is also quite the rugby player.

The younger, blonder, but no less fierce Williams is also making waves with the New Zealand women’s Sevens team, and at the weekend, she showed wonderful quick hands to set up a try in the win over Fiji in a tournament in Canada.

Instead of catching a pass from the breakdown against their Pacific Island opponents, Niall opted to ‘tip’ the ball along to her teammate Shiray Tane for an even easier try.

Big brother was impressed too.

The New Zealand women’s sevens team are also likely to be one of the favourites for Olympic success this summer, which could see two medals returning home from Brazil to the one Williams household.

Jealous is not the word.
