Sonny Bill Williams’ Super Rugby season is over, but he went down swinging.
Or smashing, rather. The Highlanders beat the Chiefs 24-14 in Dunedin on Saturday morning but SBW’s effort couldn’t be faulted. Early in the game, he read Elliot Dixon’s inside running line easily and laid out the back row with a massive shoulder.

Earlier today we showed you what can happen when you get a big tackle wrong, with the Brumbies wing Henry Speight seeing red in the other Super Rugby quarter-final last Saturday.
Sonny Bill’s club season might be finished, but we will probably be treated to a few more earth shattering hits and audacious offloads in the World Cup this autumn.
