Ali Williams: Rugby Icon to Football Boss - The Full Story
All Blacks great Ali Williams joins Justin Marshall, Jeremy Paul and Andy Rowe to discus his career and life after rugby.
We cover the how a shower with his wife lead to the formation of Auckland AFC, how the All Blacks prepared to face the 2005 Lions and the lessons learned from the 2007 Rugby World Cup that led to victory in 2011.
Wallaby James O'Conor also joins the show to reminisce about their time in Toulon playing for one of the greatest club sides ever assembled.
AND... Ali Williams talks us through THAT cross field kick!
