All Blacks midfielder Sonny Bill Williams may be revered for his ability to carry a ball, but when it comes to carrying a tune, it's a much different story.
On Monday night, Williams posted a video on social media from his hospital bed following keyhole surgery to repair the knee injury which has ruled him out of the All Blacks test series against France.
The 32-year-old asks nearby nurses for any particular song requests, dismissing a few initial suggestions before launching into a rendition of 90s pop group All-4-One's chart-topper 'I Swear', which garners a number of mixed reactions.
Williams added a disclaimer with the footage, which he posted to Twitter.
"Okay team - here it is. I just want to reiterate again that the meds they give you for surgery are very strong and take a while to wear off... but I also feel like the staff took advantage of me (I'm joking). Thanks to the nurses/staff for putting up with me haha!"
The World Cup winner adds a couple more tidbits, admitting his appreciation for former One Direction member Niall Horan.
"I love Niall... he's the man. He loves rugby," said Williams.
He's scheduled to be sidelined for four weeks as he recovers from the procedure.
