Sonny Bill puts off holiday for Roosters return

Sonny Bill Williams had been on the verge of taking a European vacation with family until a call from the Sydney Roosters shook him out of holiday mode and reignited his competitive fires, he said on Wednesday.

Williams, who has represented New Zealand in both rugby league and union, is expected to land in Sydney this week ahead of a second stint with the National Rugby League champions having been granted a release by Toronto Wolfpack.With Toronto pulling out of the restart of Europe's Super League competition due to the financial problems wrought by COVID-19, England-based Williams said his mind was far from rugby league when Roosters coach Trent Robinson got in touch.
