SBW Tweets solve mystery on Cup parade absences

10:16 am on 27 October 2011

The mystery over Sonny Bill Williams' whereabouts has been solved - the All Black utility player has Tweeted that his Nan is back home and thanked his Tweeps for all their prayers.

Williams has missed all three All Blacks victory parades after the World Cup due to a sick relative.

He added on his Twitter page that his manager is now putting him "under the pump" - presumably over the 26-year-old's next contract.

The Super Rugby squad announcements are next week. Williams has been linked with the Blues and the Chiefs though another big-money offshore contract is also an option, possibly back in France.
