Rugby Championship : Sonny Bill Williams warns Wallabies: Rennie's success will haunt you

Sonny Bill Williams backs the All Blacks under new head coach Dave Rennie, revealing his involvement in the selection process. Rennie, who replaces Scott Robertson, aims to lead New Zealand into the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. Williams, a former player at the Chiefs, emphasizes that NZ Rugby "would have done their due diligence" by consulting ex-players about Rennie, whose interviews were deemed "strictly confidential." Despite a tough tenure with the Wallabies, ending with a 38 percent win rate, Williams believes Rugby Australia made a mistake by letting him go too soon. He expresses confidence that Rennie will excel with the All Blacks, noting his clear communication and strong culture-building skills. Williams recalls Rennie's successful turnaround at the Chiefs, taking them from last place to champions. The anticipation builds for how Rennie will shape the All Blacks moving forward.
