Almost six years on from the 2015 World Cup final, we look back at a famous moment in Sonny Bill Williams career. Shortly after the presentation a fan ran on the pitch before being tackled by security. What happened next changed a young man’s life and is remembered as one of the incredible moments in World Cup history, as SBW gave away his winners medal.

What a legend this young man. Helping someone else is what it's all about!! Good for you!
Read Quran and find out how Islam changed life of Sonny Bill Williams. I know most people will ignore this message cause they don't wanna know about Islam
Muslim or not is not a matter, but sonny bill Willaim is a great player
Wow very cool. American I don’t even know what rugby is never heard of sonny but it is a very cool story. Amazing. Seems like a great guy. Very nice ?
Congrats Bill on yr retirement,enjoy yr precious time with yr Family n may Allah grant you Jannah for being a good n humble Muslim.
I think Sonny was confused about your age cause back in NZ Polynesian kids are that size at 7 or 8 ?
SBW is a gent, and it seems a truly great person. He is one of the few ppl of faith whom I find to be real. No duplicity. He tries his best to be real. Class act.
How am I seeing this now lol
"non muslim doesnt read qur'an or hadits, they read muslim (acts, behaviour and all)", thank you for being a good devout muslim Sonny! enjoy your retirement buddy. love from Indonesia! THanks world rugby too for sharing this beautiful story. and for that guy in the video, be a good human being just like Sonny. Good luck!
Why am I crying? So moving, the young man was such a cute teen and the message is so raw and sincere! Love and blessings to all! There is really so much love and goodness in the world
I live near sonny bill, I see him at the Westfield nearly everyday
Now I know, just run on to the pitch after the world cup final and then I'll get a medal
So this is the little flog that broke the law and got rewarded ffs doesn't deserve air time…..
I would not be able to take it off him, his achievement that Hes worked for but either way 2 genuine people
