So Tillman III, Williams’ latest opponent on his professional boxing flight of fancy, decided to take a swing at the rugby union convert after he had weighed in over 20 kilos heavier than the centre.
Standing by (obviously not quite so eager for a scrap) was Williams’ Crusaders and All Black team mate Liam Messam. However it was Sonny Bill’s brother John who put in the big tackle on Tillman, landing the American on the canvas after it all got a bit tasty.
“That wasn’t planned brother,” said a smiling Williams, “that was full on.”
Good thing there were cameras around.

The pair will get it on for real, late tonight, when the bell rings in Hamilton.
