Fri 10 Oct 2007Simple facts of life at the coalfaceNew Zealand v France:Ali Williams is an interesting character. Like the majority of frontline locks at the cutting edge of Test rugby, he's had his blips. He's fought the law and hasn't always won. But he doesn't mumble platitudes. The man has a sense of humour and he can rap.Alas a frenzy of questions from a mix of mostly Kiwi and French journalists wasn't the best of circumstances to bring this out in him. For some of the former, the preoccupation was the consequences of failure, for the latter, it was the possible renewal of hostilities with Sebastien Chabal, who broke Williams' cheekbone with a thunderous, head-first charge in June.
