A bristling Sonny Bill Williams might consider filing a workplace harassment claim after the superstar athlete was humorously sledged on Stan Sport’s Rugby Heaven.
During his ‘big hits leaderboard’ segment, former Wallaby Morgan Turinui dug up a 2011 Williams tackle for consideration from the historic Crusaders vs Sharks Super Rugby game at Twickenham.
But while it was certainly a strong shot, it wasn’t able to crack the top 10 of Turinui’s competitive list.

“That was a trash one,” Williams said.
“Come on guys, you could have picked better than that.”
Turinui then lit the fuse.
“I’ve looked for a week and he actually didn’t make that many big hits.”
Williams: “Did you write ‘SBW shoulder charge’? Not that I do that”.

Turinui: “It had to be legal. So Sonny you’ve got some homework then, you can go and find a better hit”.
Williams agreed to that task before host Roz Kelly wound the heavyweight boxer up again.
“I reckon my hit on the baguette was better than that. No offence,” Kelly said, referencing the infamous prop from last year’s France tour.

“Sonny Bill Williams, not good enough to make the big hits leaderboard,” Turinui confirmed.
Williams then turned to look at the promotional shots behind the Rugby Heaven couch, in which he is featured prominently.
“Can we get a shot of the back here? I want to see if Morgs is up there. No. Sorry.”
Turinui: “It’s been nice being on this show”.
