    SBW & Liam Messam to quit Super Rugby in search of gold

    SONNY Bill Williams will miss next year’s Super Rugby season to focus on winning an Olympic gold medal in Sevens rugby.

    Williams and All Blacks teammate Liam Messam will switch to Sevens after the World Cup in a bid to play at Rio 2016, ruling them out of next season’s tournament and probably also the Test season.

    The NZ coach sent out a wish-list to the Super Rugby teams and it was reported at the time that he was on it.

    In sevens they seem to use flankers for the front row, so we'll see Messam as a 'prop'
