Sonny Bill Williams has hit out at claims he is under pressure to keep his spot in the All Blacks for the Rugby World Cup.

In a Twitter post Williams says those who say he is  under pressure needs to get their priorities right.

Williams wrote that playing sport for a living can not be compared to those who are struggling to deal with far bigger problems.

Media reports have claimed there was now more pressure than ever on Williams to prove he deserves to be one of the four midfielders heading to Japan.
