All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams won plenty of admirers following the Rugby World Cup final.
Williams presented his winner’s medal to a young pitch-invading fan who had been ‘smoked’ by a security guard right in front of him.
The gesture meant that Williams would have just the one World Cup winner’s medal in his cabinet.
That was until World Rugby stepped up on Sunday evening and had Richie McCaw present the 30-year-old with a replacement at the World Rugby Awards night.
Fair play LADS.
