All Black great Bryan Williams has backed the growing clamour for New Zealand to play a Test series in the Pacific Islands.
The news comes hot on the heels of International Rugby Board CEO Brett Gosper’s statement the organisation would “love to see the All Blacks play in the Pacific, in Samoa, or anywhere in that region”.
Bryan Williams who knows the politics of the situation better than most. He played 38 times for the All Blacks between 1970 and 1978, helped coach Samoa in the 1991, 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups and held the position of New Zealand Rugby Union president during their 2011 World Cup triumph.
