The suspended centre remains within the All Blacks panel and will help his teammates prepare for the Third Test against the Lions.
Sonny Bill Williams will miss the final game of the Lions Test Series, following his four-week suspension, but he will be free to play in plenty of time for the 2017 Rugby Championship.
Having accepted his ban and apologised to Lions’ winger Anthony Watson, and his teammates, Williams is now focused on doing all he can to help in the days leading up to the series decider.
A BBC Wales news piece [below] say Williams go viral and make headlines all over again but his actual replacement will not, in fact, be ‘Billy Son Williams’:
He is reportedly moving to Europe this summer with Toulon said to be his destination. He has just turned 25 but any lengthy stay in the northern hemisphere could well mean that Saturday at Eden Park is his final game as an All Black.

Good call – the more this week goes on the more comfortable I am with Fekitoa in there… something I also thought I'd never say.

tought at the time there were two big defensive mistakes by Luamape in those tries, reckon that's why Fekitoa will start.
