- Description
The title reads 'Sonny Bill Williams...' and further down '...waiting for his mind to change.' The cartoon shows All Black, Sonny Bill Williams, with his arms crossed and looking obstinate. A second version shows the same image but has the text reading 'Sonny Bill Williams... ' and lower down '... waiting for his mind to change... or the mind of his manager... or the mind of his sponsor... or the mind.' A third version again shows the same image but this time the text reads 'Sonny Bill Williams...' and has the All Black say 'A man's entitled to change my mind from time to time... that man's my manager.' Context: In 2008 Sonny Bill Williams controversially left the Bulldogs (Canterbury) to play rugby union with French club Toulon. In 2010 Williams signed with the New Zealand Rugby Union in a bid to play for the All Blacks at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. He was dropped from the Tri-Nations game against the Wallabies in August 2011. Sonny Bill Williams finds himself 'in a situation in the All Blacks where there's high competition for places and he's not guaranteed a run-on spot.'
