Sonny Bill Williams blasts critics saying he's under pressure to make Rugby World Cup

Sonny Bill Williams has hit out at claims he is under pressure to keep his spot in the All Blacks for the Rugby World Cup.

In a Twitter post Williams says those who say he is  under pressure needs to get their priorities right.

And for those that say I’m under pressure playing a game that I enjoy. Get your priorities right. Look at what’s going on in the world. Starving children, the single mother raising 3 kids, the atrocities refugees are facing around the world, racism. This is what I call pressure.

Williams wrote that playing sport for a living can not be compared to those who are struggling to deal with far bigger problems.

Media reports have claimed there was now more pressure than ever on Williams to prove he deserves to be one of the four midfielders heading to Japan.
