Sonny Bill stripped of clothes

He’s got the starting jersey tomorrow — but Sonny Bill Williams hasn’t got many other clothes.

The All Black will start at inside centre against Ireland but hasn’t recovered the bulk of his wardrobe after his home was broken into. The part time boxer appeared at training on Wednesday a tad underdressed and admitted the burglars took most of his stuff.

“It must have been young fellas, took all my flash stuff. But it’s all good, it’s only materialistic things,’ he said.

But the burglars did not carry any of his All Black gear away in their heist as Williams gives all his jerseys away.

The Chiefs midfielder will start his 15th test tomorrow and his first against Ireland with Ma’a Nonu being rested for the first test of the year. Williams says Nonu won’t be happy to give up the jersey.

“I don’t think anyone owns any jersey or any position. I don’t think if you said to Ma’a to rest him, he’d like the rest.”
