Henry hails Black power

NEW ZEALAND coach Graham Henry praised an impressive showing by Sonny Bill Williams after the All Blacks romped to an 83-7 victory over Japan at Hamilton’s Waikato Stadium yesterday.

Former rugby league star Williams appeared on the wing as a second-half sub to score two of his team’s 13 tries, having started at centre against Tonga last week.

“He made a statement, didn’t he?” Henry said, after seeing his team claim their second successive Pool A bonus point victory.
