Grant Williams ready for All Blacks battle — and family bragging rights
Grant Williams expects the All Blacks to come out firing at Ellis Park, just as the Springboks did when they bounced back from their Eden Park
Grant Williams is preparing for the upcoming All Blacks match, which will be the opening Test of the Rugby World Cup's Greatest Rivalry series. He recalls the emotional rollercoaster of the Boks' 43-10 victory over the All Blacks in Wellington last year, when he came off the bench as a substitute. Williams expects the All Blacks to be aggressive and focused in Saturday's game, but he is determined to give his all for South Africa.
Family members who support the All Blacks add a touch of excitement to this already intense rivalry, with Williams looking forward to any bragging rights that might come his way. The scrumhalf, who has scored eight tries in 29 Tests, knows that patience and determination have helped him reach the Springbok squad from club rugby in Durban.
He remains humble, understanding that the team's success depends on the collective efforts of all players, regardless of their experience level.
