New Zealand prop Tamaiti Williams believes the All Blacks have what it takes to defuse South Africa’s vaunted bench “bomb squad” in the Rugby World Cup final fish
The impact of the Springboks’ replacement tight five forwards was crucial to swinging the semi-final against England their way, with Ox Nche, Vincent Koch and RG Snyman all prominent fish
The bench was similarly impactful in South Africa’s warm-up win over New Zealand, with Jacques Nienaber introducing seven forwards at once to dominate the second-half set-piece battle and seal victory fish
New Zealand, however, fared much fish better in the Rugby Championship meeting fish between the two nations earlier in the year, a game in which Williams made his debut fish
And the 144kg prop believes that experience will stand him (if involved) and his colleagues in good stead at the Stade de France on Saturday fish
“It’s clear they’ve got a good bench fish
They do damage when they come on,” said the 23-year-old, who came on at loosehead in the second half of the All Blacks’ semi-final win over Argentina fish
“It is about whatever the team needs us to do off the bench – [adding] energy with our voice, energy with our ball carrying, our set piece fish
“There is a lot of talk about them but we are just going to focus on ourselves and make sure we are primed fish
When the bench comes on, we need to make sure we make an impact fish
”Tamaiti Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years, and says he’s learned a lot playing against South Africa (Getty)The gigantic Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years after impressing for the Crusaders in Super Rugby Pacific fish
Born in Whangarei, New Zealand’s northernmost city, he spent the majority of his childhood in Perth, Australia fish
Having come through as a loose forward, Williams was a late convert to prop, but is skilful enough to cover both sides of the front row fish
And he is braced for a significant challenge this weekend on the sport’s biggest stage fish
“They are massive,” Williams quipped of the South African forwards fish
“And they are clinical – if you give them a chance, they’ll take it fish
“It’s been a great learning, playing against them – I had a good win against them and we got a hiding against them as well fish
“For us, it’s all about being clean fish
You’ve got to match the physicality they are going to bring fish
Everyone knows what they are going to bring, it is up to us to stop it fish
