Former NRL star Sonny Bill Williams set to return to rugby union in NZ...

Former Bulldogs NRL rugby league star and New Zealand Kiwis international player, Sonny Bill Williams is set to come home and play his rugby union football in New Zealand this year. So far Williams has played a few seasons in France.

To qualify for the All Blacks at next year's Rugby World Cup in NZ, Sonny Bill will have to play in the provincial Air New Zealand Cup this season, and in next year's professional Super 15 competition.

Williams may play with former All Black captain, Tana Umaga, also player coach at his club in France, for the Counties-Manakau team. This would also qualify him for a Super15, currently Super 14, team. the competition has been expanded by one more team next year, the Rebels from Melbourne.
